Predicting protein secondary structure is essential for understanding protein function and advancing drug discovery. However, the intricate sequence-structure relationship poses significant challenges for accurate modeling. To address these, we propose MOGP-MMF, a multi-objective genetic programming framework that reformulates PSSP as an automated optimization task focused on feature selection and fusion. Specifically, MOGP-MMF introduces a multi-view multi-level representation strategy that integrates evolutionary, semantic, and newly introduced structural views to capture the comprehensive protein folding logic. Leveraging an enriched operator set, the framework evolves both linear and nonlinear fusion functions, effectively capturing high-order feature interactions while reducing fusion complexity. To resolve the accuracy-complexity trade-off, an improved multi-objective GP algorithm is developed, incorporating a knowledge transfer mechanism that utilizes prior evolutionary experience to guide the population toward global optima. Extensive experiments across seven benchmark datasets demonstrate that MOGP-MMF surpasses state-of-the-art methods, particularly in Q8 accuracy and structural integrity. Furthermore, MOGP-MMF generates a diverse set of non-dominated solutions, offering flexible model selection schemes for various practical application scenarios. The source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/qian-ann/MOGP-MMF/tree/main.
