10th Euromicro Workshop on Parallel, Distributed and Network-based Processing (EUROMICRO-PDP 2002) Improving Induction Decision Trees with Parallel Genetic Programming Canary Islands, Spain January 09-January 11 ISBN: 0-7695-1444-8
A parallel genetic programming approach to induce decision trees in large data sets is presented. A population of trees is evolved by employing the genetic operators and every individual is evaluated by using a fitness function based on the J-measure. The method is able to deal with large data sets since it uses a parallel implementation of genetic programming through the grid model. Experiments on data sets from the UCI machine learning repository show better results with respect to C5. Furthermore, performance results show a nearly linear speedup.
