Abstract:We consider the problem of how to use automated techniques to learn simple and compact classification rules from microarray gene expression data. Our approach employs the traditional “genetic programming” (GP) algorithm as a supervised categorization technique, but rather than applying GP to gene expression vectors directly, it applies GP to “enhanced feature vectors” obtained by preprocessing the gene expression data using the Gene Ontology and PIR ontologies. On the two datasets considered, this “GP + enhanced feature vectors” combination succeeds in producing compact and simple classification models with near-optimal classification accuracy. For sake of comparison, we also give results from the combination of support vector machine classification and enhanced feature vectors on the same datasets.
