Abstract

In this paper we have proposed a lazy learning mechanism for multiclass classification using genetic programming. This method is an improvement of traditional binary decomposition method for multiclass classification. We train classifiers for individual classes for a certain number of generations. Individual trained classifiers for each class are combined in a single chromosome. A population of such chromosomes is created and evolved further. This method suppresses the conflicting situations common in binary decomposition method. The proposed lazy learning method has performed better than traditional binary decomposition method over five benchmark datasets taken from UCI ML repository.
