Abstract
A mechanism involving evolutionary genetic programming (GP) and the expectation maximization algorithm (EM) is proposed to generate feature functions, based on the primitive features, for an image pattern recognition system on the diagnosis of the disease OPMD. Experiments show that the propose algorithm achieves an average performance of 90.20% recognition rate on diagnosis, while reducing the number of feature dimensions from 11 primitive features to the space of a single generated feature.
