In the case of concept learning from positive and negative examples, it is rarely possible to find a unique discriminating conjunctive rule; in most cases, a disjunctive descripti...
—Genetic algorithm (GA) is too dependent on the initial population and a lack of local search ability. In this paper, an improved greedy genetic algorithm (IGAA) is proposed to o...
Ideally, a multi-strategy learning algorithm performs better than its component approaches. RISE is a multi-strategy algorithm that combines rule induction and instance-based learn...
Abstract. We present a new distributed association rule mining (D-ARM) algorithm that demonstrates superlinear speed-up with the number of computing nodes. The algorithm is the fi...
Local search algorithms have been very successful for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSP). However, a major weakness has been that local search is unable to detect unso...
