چکیده

The accuracy-based classifier system XCS is currently the most successful learning classifier system. Several recent studies showed that XCS can produce machine-learning competitive results. Nonetheless, until now the evolutionary mechanisms in XCS remained somewhat ill-understood. This study investigates the selectorecombinative capabilities of the current XCS system. We reveal the accuracy dependence of XCS’s evolutionary algorithm and identify a fundamental limitation of the accuracy-based fitness approach in certain problems. Implications and future research directions conclude the paper.

Analysis and Improvement of Fitness Exploitation in XCS: Bounding Models, Tournament Selection, and Bilateral Accuracy

The evolutionary learning mechanism in XCS strongly depends on its accuracy-based fitness approach. The approach is meant to result in an evolutionary drive from classifiers of low accuracy to those of high accuracy. Since, given inaccuracy, lower specificity often corresponds to lower accuracy, fitness pressure most often also results in a pressure towards higher specificity. Moreover, fitness...

The Introduction of a Heuristic Mutation Operator to Strengthen the Discovery Component of XCS

The extended classifier systems (XCS) by producing a set of rules is (classifier) trying to solve learning problems as online. XCS is a rather complex combination of genetic algorithm and reinforcement learning that using genetic algorithm tries to discover the encouraging rules and value them by reinforcement learning. Among the important factors in the performance of XCS is the possibility to...
