The Coevolution of Antibodies for ConceptLearning ? Mitchell

چکیده
We present a novel approach to concept learning in which a coevolutionary genetic algorithm is applied to the construction of an immune system whose antibodies can discriminate between examples and counterexamples of a given concept. This approach is more general than traditional symbolic approaches to concept learning and can be applied in situations where preclassiied training examples are not necessarily available. An experimental study is described in which a coevolutionary immune system adapts itself to one of the standard machine learning data sets. The resulting immune system concept description and a description produced by a traditional symbolic concept learner are compared and contrasted.

متن کاملThe Role of Space in the Success of Coevolutionary Learning
We explore the role of spatial distribution of populations in coevolutionary learning by comparing the performance of several different evolutionary methods on two different tasks. Our experiments show that spatial coevolution is substantially more successful than any of the other methods we tried. One reason for this, demonstrated by our results, is the ability of spatial coevolution to mainta...
متن کاملResource sharing and coevolution in evolving cellular automata
Coevolution between a population of candidate solutions and a population of test cases has received increasing attention as a promising biologically inspired method for improving the performance of evolutionary computation techniques. However, the results of studies of coevolution have been mixed. One of the seemingly more impressive results to date was the improvement via coevolution demonstra...
متن کاملHost-Pathogen Coevolution and the Emergence of Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies in Chronic Infections
The vertebrate adaptive immune system provides a flexible and diverse set of molecules to neutralize pathogens. Yet, viruses such as HIV can cause chronic infections by evolving as quickly as the adaptive immune system, forming an evolutionary arms race. Here we introduce a mathematical framework to study the coevolutionary dynamics between antibodies and antigens within a host. We focus on cha...
