Gradient-Based Learning Updates Improve XCS Performance in Multistep Problems
This paper introduces a gradient-based reward prediction update mechanism to the XCS classifier system as applied in neuralnetwork type learning and function approximation mechanisms. A strong relation of XCS to tabular reinforcement learning and more importantly to neural-based reinforcement learning techniques is drawn. The resulting gradient-based XCS system learns more stable and reliable in previously investigated hard multistep problems. While the investigations are limited to the binary XCS classifier system, the applied gradient-based update mechanism appears also suitable for the real-valued XCS and other learning classifier systems.
