In many classification applications, Support Vector Machines (SVMs) have proven to be highly performing and easy to handle classifiers with very good generalization abilities. Howe...
Recently, studies with the XCS classifier system on Boolean functions have shown that in certain types of functions simple crossover operators can lead to disruption and, conseque...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...
