TLDR
On a difficult artificial machine-vision task, genetic algorithms were able to create new features (polynomial functions of the original features) which dramatically reduced classification error rates.
Abstract
Genetic algorithms were used for feature selection and creation in two pattern-classification problems. On a machine-version inspection task, it was found that genetic algorithms performed no better than conventional approaches to feature selection but required much more computation. On a difficult artificial machine-vision task, genetic algorithms were able to create new features (polynomial functions of the original features) which dramatically reduced classification error rates. Neural network and nearest-neighbor classifiers were unable to provide such low error rates using only the original features

Epileptic seizure prediction using hybrid feature selection over multiple intracranial EEG electrode contacts: a report of four patients

TL;DR: An individualized method for selecting electroencephalogram features and electrode locations for seizure prediction focused on precursors that occur within ten minutes of electrographic seizure onset, as an example of a method for training, testing and validating a seizure prediction system on data from individual patients.

1994 Special Issue: Design and evolution of modular neural network architectures

TL;DR: A series of simulations and analyses with modular neural networks are presented, suggesting a number of design principles in the form of explicit ways in which neural modules can cooperate in recognition tasks that may supplement recent accounts of the relation between structure and function in the brain.

Process for discriminating between biological states based on hidden patterns from biological data

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a process for determining a biological state through the discovery and analysis of hidden or non-obvious, discriminatory biological data patterns, which can be from health data, clinical data, or from a biological sample, (e.g., serum, blood, saliva, plasma, nipple aspirants, synovial fluids, cerebrospinal fluids, sweat, urine, fecal matter, tears, bronchial lavage, swabbings, needle aspirantas, semen, vaginal fluids, pre-ejaculate.), which is analyzed to

A multi-feature and multi-channel univariate selection process for seizure prediction.

TL;DR: A prospective, exploratory implementation of a seizure prediction method designed to adapt to individual patients with a wide variety of pre-ictal patterns, implanted electrodes and seizure types, which theoretically has the potential to address the challenge presented by the heterogeneity of EEG patterns seen in medication-resistant epilepsy.
