An Evolution of Geometric Structures Algorithm for the Automatic Classification of HRR Radar Targets

This paper presents a novel approach to solve multiclass classification problems using pure evolutionary techniques. The proposed approach is called Evolution of Geometric Structures algorithm, and consists in the evolution of several geometric structures such as hypercubes, hyperspheres, hyperoctahedrons, etc. to obtain a first division of the samples space, which will be re-evolved in a second step in order to solve samples belonging to two or more structures. We have applied the EGS algorithm to a well known multiclass classification problem, where our approach will be compared with several existing classification algorithms.
