Using the XCS classifier system for multi-objective reinforcement learning problems (2007)
Journal Article
Studley, M., & Bull, L. (2007). Using the XCS classifier system for multi-objective reinforcement learning problems. Artificial Life, 13(1), 69-86. https://doi.org/10.1162/artl.2007.13.1.69

We investigate the performance of a learning classifier system in some simple multi-objective, multi-step maze problems, using both random and biased action-selection policies for exploration. Results show that the choice of action-selection policy c... Read More about Using the XCS classifier system for multi-objective reinforcement learning problems.

Journal Article
Bull, L., Studley, M., Bagnall, A., & Whittley, I. (2007). Accuracy-based learning classifier system ensembles with rule-sharing. IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, 11(4), 496-502. https://doi.org/10.1109/TEVC.2006.885163

Learning Classifier Systems (LCS) are a method of evolving compact rule-sets using reinforcement learning. This paper presents an investigation into exploiting the population-based nature of LCS for their use within highly-parallel systems, such as...

Toward a better understanding of rule initialisation and deletion (2007)
Conference Proceeding
Kovacs, T., & Bull, L. (2007). Toward a better understanding of rule initialisation and deletion. In H. Lipson (Ed.), Proceedings of the 2007 GECCO Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (2777-2780). https://doi.org/10.1145/1274000.1274060

A number of heuristics have been used in Learning Classifier Systems to initialise parameters of new rules, to adjust fitness of parent rules when they generate offspring, and to select rules for deletion. Some have not been studied in the literature... Read More about Toward a better understanding of rule initialisation and deletion.

This paper presents an investigation into exploiting the population-based nature of learning classifier systems (LCSs) for their use within highly parallel systems. In particular, the use of simple payoff and accuracy-based LCSs within the ensemble m... Read More about Learning classifier system ensembles with rule-sharing.

Fuzzy-XCS: A Michigan genetic fuzzy system (2007)
Journal Article
Casillas, J., Carse, B., & Bull, L. (2007). Fuzzy-XCS: A Michigan genetic fuzzy system. IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, 15(4), 536-550. https://doi.org/10.1109/TFUZZ.2007.900904

The issue of finding fuzzy models with an interpretability as good as possible without decreasing the accuracy is one of the main research topics on genetic fuzzy systems. When they are used to perform online reinforcement learning by means of Michig... Read More about Fuzzy-XCS: A Michigan genetic fuzzy system.
