GECCO’12 Companion, July 7–11, 2012, Philadelphia, PA, USA.https://hdl.handle.net/10289/6339We propose a framework and a novel algorithm for the full model selection (FMS) problem. The proposed algorithm, combining both genetic algorithms (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), is named GPS (which stands for GAPSO-FMS), in which a GA is used for searching the optimal structure of a data mining solution, and PSO is used for searching the optimal parameter set for a particular structure instance. Given a classification or regression problem, GPS outputs a FMS solution as a directed acyclic graph consisting of diverse data mining operators that are applicable to the problem, including data cleansing, data sampling, feature transformation/selection and algorithm operators. The solution can also be represented graphically in a human readable form. Experimental results demonstrate the benefit of the algorithm.application/pdfenCopyright is held by the authors.genetic algorithmparticle swarmfull model selectionMachine learningConference Contribution10.1145/2330784.2331014
