abstract = "A Genetic Programming approach for the improvement of
the performance of classifier systems through the
synthesis of new training instances is explored.
Genetic Programming is used to exploit shortcomings of
classifiers systems and generate misclassified
instances. The proposed approach performs multiple
parallel evolutionary runs to generate a large number
of potentially misclassified samples. A supervisor
module determines which of the generated images have
been misclassified and which should be added to the
training set. New classifiers are trained based on the
original training set augmented by the selected evolved
instances. The results attained while using face
detection classifiers are presented and discussed.
Overall they indicate that significant improvements are
attained when using multiple evolutionary runs.",
