  abstract =     "There is an underlying assumption on most model
                 building processes: given a learnt classifier, it
                 should be usable to explain unseen data from the same
                 given problem. Despite this seemingly reasonable
                 assumption, when dealing with biological data it tends
                 to fail; where classifiers built out of data generated
                 using the same protocols in two different laboratories
                 can lead to two different, non-interchangeable,
                 classifiers. There are usually too many uncontrollable
                 variables in the process of generating data in the lab
                 and biological variations, and small differences can
                 lead to very different data distributions, with a
                 fracture between data. This paper presents a
                 genetics-based machine learning approach that performs
                 feature extraction on data from a lab to help increase
                 the classification performance of an existing
                 classifier that was built using the data from a
                 different laboratory which uses the same protocols,
                 while learning about the shape of the fractures between
                 data that motivated the bad behaviour.

                 The experimental analysis over benchmark problems
                 together with a real-world problem on prostate cancer
                 diagnosis show the good behavior of the proposed
                 algorithm.",
