Abstract
The present work expounds a preliminary work of a genetic programming algorithm to deal with multi-label classification problems. The algorithm uses Gene Expression Programming and codifies a classification rule into each individual. A niching technique assures diversity in the population. The final classifier is made up by a set of rules for each label that determines if a pattern belongs or not to the label. The proposal have been tested over several domains and compared with other multi-label algorithms and the results shows that it is specially suitable to handle with nominal data sets.
