Abstract

A new genetic programming based approach to classification problems is proposed. Differently from other approaches, the number of prototypes in the classifier is not a priori fixed, but automatically found by the system. In fact, in many problems a single class may contain a variable number of subclasses. Hence, a single prototype, may be inadequate to represent all the members of the class. The devised approach has been tested on several problems and the results compared with those obtained by a different genetic programming based approach recently proposed in the literature.
