abstract = "The so-called ``boosting'' principle was introduced by
Schapire and Freund in the 1990s in relation to weak
learners in the Probably Approximately Correct
computational learning framework. Another practice that
has developed in recent years consists in assessing the
quality of evolutionary or genetic classifiers with
Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curves.
Following the RankBoost algorithm by Freund et al.,
this article is a cross-bridge between these two
techniques, and deals about boosting ROC-based genetic
programming classifiers. Updating the weights after a
boosting round turns to be the algorithm keystone since
the ROC curve does not allow to know directly which
training cases are learned or misclassified. We propose
a geometrical interpretation of the ROC curve to
attribute an error measure to every training case. We
validate our ROCboost algorithm on several benchmarks
from the UCI-Irvine repository, and we compare boosted
Genetic Programming performance with published results
on ROC-based Evolution Strategies and Support Vector
Machines.",
