abstract = "Genetic Programming (GP) is one of the evolutionary
computation techniques that is used for the
classification process. GP has shown that good accuracy
values especially for binary classifications can be
achieved, however, for multiclass classification
unfortunately GP does not obtain high accuracy results.
In this paper, we propose two approaches in order to
improve the GP classification task. One approach (GP-K)
uses the K-means clustering technique in order to
transform the produced value of GP into class labels.
The second approach (GP-D) uses a discretization
technique to perform the transformation. A comparison
of the original GP, GP-K and GP-D was conducted using
binary and multiclass datasets. In addition, a
comparison with other state-of-the-art classifiers was
performed. The results reveal that GP-K shows good
improvement in terms of accuracy compared to the
original GP, however, it has a slightly longer
execution time. GP-D also achieves higher accuracy
values than the original GP as well as GP-K, and the
comparison with the state-of-the-art classifiers reveal
competitive accuracy values.",
