Abstract

Multi-label classification is a challenging problem which demands new knowledge discovery methods. This paper presents a Grammar-Guided Genetic Programming algorithm for solving multi-label classification problems using IF-THEN classification rules. This algorithm, called G3P-ML, is evaluated and compared to other multi-label classification techniques in different application domains. Computational experiments show that G3P-ML often obtains better results than other algorithms while achieving a lower number of rules than the other methods.
