Abstract

Hierarchical classification is a problem with applications in many areas as protein function prediction where the dates are hierarchically structured. Therefore, it is necessary the development of algorithms able to induce hierarchical classification models. This paper presents experimenters using the algorithm for hierarchical classification called Hierarchical Classification using Evolutionary Strategy (HC-ES). It was tested in eight datasets the G-Protein-Coupled Receptor (GPCR) and Enzyme Commission Codes (EC). The results are compared with other hierarchical classifier using the distance and hF-Measure.
