Abstract
Different classifiers with different characteristics and methodologies can complement each other and cover their internal weaknesses; Thus Classifier ensemble is an important approach to handle the drawback. If an automatic and fast method is obtained to approximate the accuracies of different classifiers on a typical dataset, the learning can be converted to an optimization problem and genetic algorithm is an important approach in this way. We proposed a selection method for classification ensemble by applying GA for improving performance of classification. CEGA is examined on some datasets and it considerably shows improvements.
