Effective search for genetic-based machine learning systems via estimation of distribution algorithms and embedded feature reduction techniques

Genetic-based machine learning (GBML) systems, which employ evolutionary algorithms (EAs) as search mechanisms, evolve rule-based classification models to represent target concepts. Compared to Michigan-style GBML, Pittsburgh-style GBML is expected …

Effective search for Pittsburgh learning classifier systems via estimation of distribution algorithms

Pittsburgh-style learning classifier systems (LCSs), in which an entire candidate solution is represented as a set of variable number of rules, combine supervised learning with genetic algorithms (GAs) to evolve rule-based classification models. It …

Cross Entropy and Adaptive Variance Scaling in Continuous EDA

This paper deals with the adaptive variance scaling issue incontinuous Estimation of Distribution Algorithms. A phenomenon is discovered that current adaptive variance scaling method in EDA suffers from imprecise structure learning. A new type of …
