  art.cs.RuleMaker

public class RuleMaker

extends java.lang.Object

This class manage the long term learning of the classifier following the Environment-Rules-Agents (ERA) scheme introduced in Gilbert and Terna (2000).

"Rule Maker role is to modify the rules mastering agent behavior, for example by means of a simulated learning process."

For more information on ERA http://web.econ.unito.it/terna/ct-era/ct-era.html.

This class explore the solution space searching new classifiers fittest to the problem. It use a modified genetic algorithm that avoid convergence of the population in order to have as much rules as possible to be evaluated and preserve variety.
