We present the design of more effective and efficient genetic algorithm based data mining techniques that use the concepts of feature selection. Explicit feature selection is traditionally done as a wrapper approach where every candidate feature subset is evaluated by executing the data mining algorithm on that subset. In this article we present a GA for doing both the tasks of mining and feature selection simultaneously by evolving a binary code along side the chromosome structure used for evolving the rules. We then present a wrapper approach to feature selection based on Hausdorff distance measure. Results from applying the above techniques to a real world data mining problem show that combining both the feature selection methods provides the best performance in terms of prediction accuracy and computational efficiency.
