• abstract = "We describe how the Stepwise Adaptation of Weights (SAW) technique can be applied in genetic programming. The SAW-ing mechanism has been originally developed for and successfully used in constraint satisfaction problems. Here we identify the very basic underlying ideas behind SAW-ing and point out how it can be used for different types of problems. In particular, SAW-ing is well suited for data mining task s where the fitness of a candidate solution is composed by `local scores' on data records. We evaluate the power of the SAW-ing mechanism on a number of benchmark classification data sets. The results indicate that extending the GP with the SAW-ing feature increases its performance when different types of misclassifications are not weighted differently, but leads to worse results when they are.",
