abstract = "We have shown genetic programming (GP) can
automatically fuse given classifiers of diverse types
to produce a hybrid classifier. Combinations of neural
networks, decision trees and Bayes classifier shave
been formed. On a range of benchmarks the evolved
multiple classifier system is better than all of its
components. Indeed its Receiver Operating
Characteristics (ROC) are better than [Scott et al.,
1998]s {"}Maximum Realisable Receiver Operating
Characteristics{"} MRROC (convex hull) An important
component in the drug discovery is testing potential
drugs for activity with P450 cell membrane molecules.
Our technique has been used in a blind trial where
artificial neural networks are trained by Clementine on
P450 pharmaceutical data. Using just the trained
networks, GP automatically evolves a composite
classifier. Recent experiments with boosting the
networks will be compared with genetic programming.",
