Abstract

The Commonality-Based Crossover Framework has been presented as a general model for designing problem specific operators. Following this model, the Common Features/Random Sample Climbing operator has been developed for feature subset selection--a binary string optimization problem. Although this problem should be an ideal application for genetic algorithms with standard crossover operators, experiments show that the new operator can find better feature subsets for classifier training.
