Constructive Induction (CI) is a process applied to representation space prior to learning algorithms. This process transforms original representation space into a representation that highlights regularities. In this new improved space learning algorithms work more effectively, generating better solutions. Most CI methods apply a greedy strategy to improve representation space. Greedy methods might converge to local optima, when search space is complex. Genetic Algorithms (GA) as a global search strategy is more effective in such situations. In this paper, a real-coded GA (RGACI) model is represented for CI. This model optimizes the representation space by discretization of feature's values, constructing new features with a GA and evaluation and selection of features upon a PNN Classifier accuracy. Results reveal that PNN Classifier accuracy will improved considerably after it is integrated with RGACI model.
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.
