Abstract
The use of machine learning techniques to automatically analyse data for information is becoming increasingly widespread. In this paper we primarily examine the use of Genetic Programming and a Genetic Algorithm to preprocess data before it is classified using the C4.5 decision tree learning algorithm. Genetic Programming is used to construct new features from those available in the data, a potentially significant process for data mining since it gives consideration to hidden relationships between features. A Genetic Algorithm is used to determine which such features are the most predictive. Using ten wellknown datasets we show that our approach, in comparison to C4.5 alone, provides marked improvement in a number of cases. We then examine its use with other well-known machine learning techniques.
