Using genetic programming to learn and improve control knowledge
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this article is to present a multi-strategy approach to learn heuristics for planning. This multi-strategy system, called HAMLET-EVOCK, combines a learning algorithm specialized in planning (HAMLET) and a genetic programming (GP) based system (EVOCK: Evolution of Control Knowledge). Both systems are able to learn heuristics for planning on their own, but both of them have weaknesses. Based on previous experience and some experiments performed in this article, it is hypothesized that HAMLET handicaps are due to its example-driven operators and not having a way to evaluate the usefulness of its control knowledge. It is also hypothesized that even if HAMLET control knowledge is sometimes incorrect, it might be easily correctable. For this purpose, a GPbased stage is added, because of its complementary biases: GP genetic operators are not exampledriven and it can use a fitness function to evaluate control knowledge. HAMLET and EVOCK are combined by seeding EVOCK initial population with HAMLET control knowledge. It is also useful for EVOCK to start from a knowledge-rich population instead of a random one. By adding the GP stage to HAMLET, the number of solved problems increases from 58% to 85% in the blocks world and from 50% to 87% in the logistics domain (0% to 38% and 0% to 42% for the hardest instances of problems considered). 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

A Method for Solving Optimal Control Problems Using Genetic Programming
This paper deals with a novel method for solving optimal control problems based on genetic programming. This approach produces some trial solutions and seeks the best of them. If the solution cannot be expressed in a closed analytical form then our method produces an approximation with a controlled level of accuracy. Using numerical examples, we will demonstrate how to use the results.

متن کاملAn Application of Genetic Network Programming Model for Pricing of Basket Default Swaps (BDS)
The credit derivatives market has experienced remarkable growth over the past decade. As such, there is a growing interest in tools for pricing of the most prominent credit derivative, the credit default swap (CDS). In this paper, we propose a heuristic algorithm for pricing of basket default swaps (BDS). For this purpose, genetic network programming (GNP), which is one of the recent evolutiona...
متن کاملEstimation of Discharge over the Submerged Compound Sharp-Crested Weir using Artificial Neural Networks and Genetic Programming
Truncated sharp crested weirs are used to measure flow rate and control upstream water surface in irrigation canals and laboratory flumes. The main advantages of such weirs are ease of construction and capability of measuring a wide range of flows with sufficient accuracy. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic programming (GP) have recently been used for estimation of hydraulic data. In...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Knowledge Acquisition System using Generic Genetic Programming
The knowledge acquisition bottleneck greatly obstructs the development of knowledge-based systems. One popular approach to knowledge acquisition uses inductive concept learning to derive knowledge from examples stored in databases. However, existing learning systems cannot improve themselves automatically. This paper describes an adaptive knowledge acquisition system that can learn first-order ...
