Abstract

This paper presents a fast method using simple genetic algorithms (GAs) for features selection. Unlike traditional approaches using GAs, we have used the combination of Adaboost classifiers to evaluate an individual of the population. So, the fitness function we have used is defined by the error rate of this combination. This approach has been implemented and tested on the MNIST database and the results confirm the effectiveness and the robustness of the proposed approach.
