Abstract-In this paper, Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to search for combinations of learning algorithms and associated parameters with maximum accuracy. An important feature of the approach is that the GA initial population is formed by using parameter values gathered from ExpDB (a public database of data mining experiments). The proposed approach was implemented in a tool called EMiner, built on top of a grid based software infrastructure for developing collaborative applications in medicine and healthcare domains (ECADeG project). Experiments on 16 datasets from the UCI repository were performed. The results obtained have shown that the strategy of combining the data from ExpDB via GA is effective in finding classification models with good accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
