abstract = {With increasing accuracy and availability of moredata, the
potential of using machine learning (ML) methods inmedical
and clinical applications has gained considerableinterest.
However, the main hurdle in translational use of MLmethods
is the lack of explainability, especially when
non-linearmethods are used. Explainable (i.e.
human-interpretable)methods can provide insights into
disease mechanisms but canequally importantly promote
clinician-patient trust, in turnhelping wider social
acceptance of ML methods. Here, weempirically test a method
to engineer complex, yet interpretable,representations of
base features via evolution of context-freegrammar (CFG). We
show that together with a simple MLalgorithm evolved
features provide higher accuracy on severalbenchmark
datasets and then apply it to a real word problem
ofdiagnosing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) based on
magneticresonance imaging (MRI) data. We further demonstrate
highperformance on a hold-out dataset for the prognosis of
AD.Keywords — grammar evolution, feature
representation,interpretability, Alzheimer’s disease,
