摘要: REGAL is a Distributed Genetic Algorithm designed for learning concept descriptions from examples, in First Order Logic. In particular, each individual the population represents conjunctive formula VL2 language. order to increase efficiency of generalization process, has been provided with new selection operator, called Universal Suffrage which guarantees (in probability) maintain covering all events. As mostly takes place when two individuals different sets examples are crossed, global capability system increased. Moreover, case disjunctive or multiple concepts, universal suffrage algorithm allows formation species, one corresponding disjunct. this way, disjuncts can be learned parallel obtaining, average, more general solutions than by them at time. A formal analysis operator presented, providing theoretical explanations experimentally observed behaviour. comparison classical and sharing function method also made. Finally, long term control strategy, “Tories Whigs”, proposed overcome problem lethal matings between uncompatible disjuncts. The effectiveness demonstrated on several problems.
