• abstract = "We propose a new approach for designing classifiers for a c-class c>=2 problem using Genetic Programming (GP). The proposed approach takes an integrated view of all classes when the GP evolves. A multi-tree representation of chromosomes is used. In this context, we propose a modified crossover operation and a new mutation operation that reduces the destructive nature of conventional genetic operations. A new concept of unfitness of a tree is used to select trees for genetic operations. This gives more opportunity for unfit trees to become fit. A new concept of OR-ing chromosomes in the terminal population is introduced, which enables us to get a classifier with better performance. Finally, a weight based scheme and a heuristic rule based scheme characterising typical mistakes are used for conflict resolution. The classifier is capable of saying ``don't know'' when faced with unfamiliar examples. The effectiveness of our scheme is demonstrated on several real data sets.",
