Abstract

The authors present Genetic Algorithm Based Representation Transformation (GABRET), the system they created to transform feature spaces to improve classification techniques. Depending on the problem, the system applies either a feature-selection or ýconstruction module to search the problem space and improve the recognition rate. Both methods are based on genetic algorithms that use an evaluation function as feedback to guide the search. The authors test this method on an eye-detection face recognition system, demonstrating substantially better classification rates than competing systems.
