Real-valued GCS classifier system

Learning Classifier Systems (LCSs) have gained increasing interest in the genetic and evolutionary Computation literature. Many real-world problems are not conveniently expressed using the ternary representation typically used by LCSs and for Such problems an interval-based representation is preferable. A new model of LCSs is introduced to classify real-valued data. The approach applies the continous-valued context-free grammar-based system GCS. In order to handle data effectively, the terminal rules were replaced by the so-called environment probing rules. The rGCS model was tested on the checkerboard problem.
