Title
Using GP to Evolve Decision Rules for Classification in Financial Data Sets
Abstract
Financial forecasting is a lucrative and complicated application of machine learning. In this paper, we focus on the finding investment opportunities. We therefore explore four different Genetic Programming approaches and compare their performances on real-world data. We find that the novelties we introduced in some of these approaches indeed improve the results. However, we also show that the Genetic Programming process itself is still very inefficient and that further improvements are necessary if we want this application of GP to become successful.
