Abstract

This paper presents the use of a bi-objective genetic algorithm to select attributes for an ensemble system. This is achieved by using this technique to simultaneously maximize the individual diversity of the base classifiers and the group diversity of an ensemble system. In order to evaluate the possible solutions obtained by this technique, two filter-based evaluation criteria will be used. Filter-based criteria were chosen because they are independent of the learning algorithm and have a low computational cost.
