Determining the best classifier for predicting the value of a boolean field on a blood donor database using genetic algorithms [PDF]
, 2018 Motivation: Thanks to digitization, we often have access to large databases, consisting of various fields of information, ranging from numbers to texts and even boolean values. Such databases lend themselves especially well to machine learning, classification and big data analysis tasks. We are able to train classifiers, using already existing data and
