• abstract = "Genetic Programming (GP) has shown promise in feature construction where high-level features are formed by combining original features using predefined functions or operators. Multiple feature construction methods have been proposed for high-dimensional data with thousands of features. Results of these methods show that several constructed features can maintain or even improve the discriminating ability of the original feature set. However, some particular features may have better ability than other features to distinguish instances of one class from other classes. Therefore, it may be more difficult to construct a better discriminating feature when combing features that are relevant to different classes. In this study, we propose a new GP-based feature construction method called CDFC that constructs multiple features, each of which focuses on distinguishing one class from other classes. We propose a new representation for class-dependent feature construction and a new fitness function to better evaluate the constructed feature set. Results on eight datasets with varying difficulties showed that the features constructed by CDFC can improve the discriminating ability of thousands of original features in most cases. Results also showed that CFDC is more effective and efficient than the hybrid MGPFC method which was shown to have better performance than standard GP to feature construction.",
