Configuring ZCS for continuous-valued single-step Boolean problems

Stone, Christopher; Bull, Larry

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the performance and operation of a Learning Classifier System on problems with real-valued states and a Boolean action space. Specifically, we study aspects of the algorithm and parameter set of the simple strength-based Learning Classifier System used, ZCS. Increased performance is found to result from the use of an
update algorithm based on that of NewBoole, an earlier strength-based Learning Classifier System and a new operator, specialize, is introduced and found to be effective in ...
