• abstract = "Symbolic Classification (SC), an offshoot of Genetic Programming (GP), can play an important role in any well rounded predictive analytics tool kit, especially because of its so called WhiteBox properties. Recently, algorithms were developed to push SC to the level of basic classification accuracy competitive with existing commercially available classification tools, including the introduction of GP assisted Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). In this paper we add a number of important enhancements to our basic SC system and demonstrate their accuracy improvements on a set of theoretical problems and on a banking industry problem. We enhance GP assisted linear discriminant analysis with a modified version of Platt Sequential Minimal Optimization algorithm which we call (MSMO), and with swarm optimization techniques. We add a user-defined typing system, and we add deep learning feature selection to our basic SC system. This extended algorithm (LDA++) is highly competitive with the best commercially available M-Class classification techniques on both a set of theoretical problems and on a real world banking industry problem. This new LDA++ algorithm moves genetic programming classification solidly into the top rank of commercially available classification tools.",
