In many classifier systems, the classifier strength parameter serves as a predictor of future payoff and as the classifier's fitness for the genetic algorithm. We investigate a classifier system, XCS, in which each classifier maintains a prediction of expected payoff, but the classifier's fitness is given by a measure of the prediction's accuracy. T h e system executes the genetic algorithm in ...

Network Intrusion Detection aims at distinguishing the behavior of the network. It is an inseparable part of the information security system. Due to rapid development of attack pattern it is necessary to develop a system which can upgrade itself as new threats are detected. Also detection rate should be high because the rate with which attack is carried out on the network is very high. In respo...

Over the past two decades, Machine Learning has become one of the mainstays of information technology. Machine learning is concerned with the development of algorithms and achieves optimization classification of attributes. Classification under the decision tree is the prediction approach of data mining techniques. In the decision tree, classification algorithm has the most common classifier to...

A new method for segmenting images of immunohistochemically stained cell nuclei is presented. The aim is to distinguish between cell nuclei with a positive staining reaction and other cell nuclei, and to make it possible to quantify the reaction. First, a new supervised algorithm for creating a pixel classifier is applied to an image that is typical for the sample. The training phase of the cla...

One of the important issues in the design of fuzzy classifier is the formation of fuzzy if-then rules and the membership functions. This paper presents a Genetic Algorithm (GA) approach to obtain the optimal rule set and the membership function. To develop the fuzzy system the membership functions and rule set are encoded into the chromosome and evolved simultaneously using Genetic Algorithm. A...

Background and Objectives: Accurate detection of type and severity of Hepatitis is crucial for effective treatment of the disease. While several computational algorithms for detection of Hepatitis have been proposed to date, their limited performance leaves room for further improvement. This paper proposes a novel computational method for the diagnosis of Hepatitis B using pattern detection tec...

A selective classifier ( f ,g) comprises a classification function f and a binary selection function g, which determines if the classifier abstains from prediction, or uses f to predict. The classifier is called pointwise-competitive if it classifies each point identically to the best classifier in hindsight (from the same class), whenever it does not abstain. The quality of such a classifier i...

In this paper, we evaluate and contrast two fuzzy classifiers for credit scoring. The first classifier uses evolutionary optimisation and boosting whereas the second classifier is based on a fuzzy neural network. We show that, for the case at hand, the boosted genetic fuzzy classifier performs better than both the neurofuzzy classifier and the well-known C4.5 algorithm that we included as a ref...

Different data classification algorithms have been developed and applied in various areas to analyze and extract valuable information and patterns from large datasets with noise and missing values. However, none of them could consistently perform well over all datasets. To this end, ensemble methods have been suggested as the promising measures. This paper proposes a novel hybrid algorithm, whi...

Multiple classifier systems combine several individual classifiers to deliver a final classification decision. An increasingly controversial question is whether such systems can outperform the single best classifier and if so, what form of multiple classifier system yields the greatest benefit. In this paper the performance of several multiple classifier systems are evaluated in terms of their ...
