Classification and Learning Using Genetic Algorithms: Applications in Bioinformatics and Web Intelligence

by Sanghamitra Bandyopadhyay, Sankar Kumar Pal

This book provides a unified framework that describes how genetic learning can be used to design pattern recognition and learning systems. It examines how a search technique, the genetic algorithm, can be used for pattern classification mainly through approximating decision boundaries. Coverage also demonstrates the effectiveness of the genetic classifiers vis-à-vis several widely used classifiers, including neural networks.
