Abstract

This text presents a classifier system (CS), which is able to adapt to an environment by adjusting the activation probabilities of the rules and changing the rules itself. The operators for changing the rules are incorporated into the CS, thus allowing for an adaption of the rates of change on-line during the search process for better rules. An age is attached to the rules. Removal of rules from the rule set is done according to the age.

Experiments show that this approach to adapting the rule set by means of internal genetic operators (GO) is superior to exogenous genetic operators.
