Revisiting the Foundations of Artificial Immune Systems: A Problem-Oriented Perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since their development, AIS have been used for a number of machine learning tasks including that of classification. Within the literature, there appears to be a lack of appreciation for the possible bias in the selection of various representations and affinity measures that may be introduced when employing AIS in classification tasks. Problems are then compounded when inductive bias of algorithms are not taken into account when applying seemingly generic AIS algorithms to specific application domains. This paper is an attempt at highlighting some of these issues. Using the example of classification, this paper explains the potential pitfalls in representation selection and the use of various affinity measures. Additionally, attention is given to the use of negative selection in classification and it is argued that this may be not an appropriate algorithm for such a task. This paper then presents ideas on avoiding unnecessary mistakes in the choice and design of AIS algorithms and ultimately delivered solutions.

This paper addresses a production and outbound distribution scheduling problem in which a set of jobs have to be process on a single machine for delivery to customers or to other machines for further processing. We assume that there is a sufficient number of vehicles and the delivery costs is independent of batch size but it is dependent on each trip. In this paper, we present an Artificial Imm...
