Abstract : |
Coevolution provides a framework to implement search heuristics that are more elaborate than those driving the exploration of the state space in canonical evolutionary systems. However, some drawbacks have also to be overcome in order to ensure continuous progress on the long term. This paper presents the concept of coevolutionary learning and introduces a search procedure which successfully addresses the underlying impediments in coevolutionary search. The application of this algorithm to the discovery of cellular automata rules for a classification task is described. This work resulted in a significant improvement over previously known best rules for this task., |
