Abstract
We model populations of classifiers which are aimed to function in permanently varying environments, adapt to unexpected changes, to comply fitness function and survive. A failure to fulfill survivability condition is resulting in unsuccessful agents being removed from the agent society and be replaced by newborns which inherit some upbringing learning information from parent agents. We split the agent population into groups and suggest storing agent’s gains accumulated during most recent periods, distort randomly training signals and a level of survival threshold. A presence of optimal number of groups and a necessity of small groups with mutually collaborating agents is demonstrated.
