Through multi-objective and co-evolution techniques, it combines genetic algorithms and genetic programming to both select NN prototypes and design a neighbourhood proximity measure, in order to produce a more efficient and robust classifier. The proposed approach is compared with the standard NN classifier, with and without the use of classic prototype selection methods, and classic data normalisation. Results on both synthetic and real data sets show that the proposed methodology performs as well or better than other methods on all tested data sets.
