Rule-Based Evolutionary Online Learning Systems (eBook, PDF)

A Principled Approach to LCS Analysis and Design

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a comprehensive introduction to learning classifier systems (LCS) - or more generally, rule-based evolutionary online learning systems. LCSs learn interactively - much like a neural network - but with an increased adaptivity and flexibility. This book provides the necessary background knowledge on problem types, genetic algorithms, and reinforcement learning as well as a principled, modular analysis approach to understand, analyze, and design LCSs. The analysis is exemplarily carried through on the XCS classifier system - the currently most prominent system in LCS research. Several enhancements are introduced to XCS and evaluated. An application suite is provided including classification, reinforcement learning and data-mining problems. Reconsidering John Holland's original vision, the book finally discusses the current potentials of LCSs for successful applications in cognitive science and related areas.
