Abstract

This paper presents a novel representation of Cartesian genetic programming (CGP) in which multiple networks are used in the classification of high resolution X-rays of the breast, known as mammograms. CGP networks are used in a number of different recombination strategies and results are presented for mammograms taken from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory database.
