The Evolution of Learning: An Experiment in Genetic Connectionism
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper explores how an evolutionary process can produce systems that learn. A general framework for the evolution of learning is outlined, and is applied to the task of evolving mechanisms suitable for supervised learning in single-layer neural networks. Dynamic properties of a network’s information-processing capacity are encoded genetically, and these properties are subjected to selective pressure based on their success in producing adaptive behavior in diverse environments. As a result of selection and genetic recombination, various successful learning mechanisms evolve, including the well-known delta rule. The effect of environmental diversity on the evolution of learning is investigated, and the role of different kinds of emergent phenomena in genetic and connectionist systems is discussed. In D. S.

Multi-objective Differential Evolution for the Flow shop Scheduling Problem with a Modified Learning Effect
This paper proposes an effective multi-objective differential evolution algorithm (MDES) to solve a permutation flow shop scheduling problem (PFSSP) with modified Dejong's learning effect. The proposed algorithm combines the basic differential evolution (DE) with local search and borrows the selection operator from NSGA-II to improve the general performance. First the problem is encoded with a...

متن کاملLearning Classifier Systems
Learning Classifier Systems are a machine learning technique that may be categorised in between symbolic production systems and sub-symbolic connectionist systems. Classifiers are cognitive paradigm for adaptation that learn in environments of perpetual novelty with minimal and delayed reward. They employ two principle processes (1) reinforcement learning called ‘trial-and-error’, and genetic e...
