This paper proposes a method to combat user fatigue by augmenting user evaluations with a synthetic fitness function. The proposed method combines partial ordering concepts, notion of non-domination from multiobjective optimization, and support vector machines to synthesize a fitness model based on user evaluation. The proposed method is used in an iGA on a simple test problem and the results demonstrate that the method actively combats user fatigue by requiring 3—7 times less user evaluation when compared to a simple iGA.]]>

In order to be able to perform such an analysis we introduce a simple bare-bones Pittsburgh-style classifier systems&amp;#8212;the compact classifier system (CCS)&amp;#8212;based on estimation of distribution algorithms. Using a common rule encoding schemes of Pittsburgh-style classifier systems, CCS mantains a dynamic set of probability vectors that compactly describe a rule set. The compact genetic algorithm is used to evolve each of the initially perturbated probability vectors. Results show how CCS is able to evolve in a compact, simple, and elegant manner rule sets composed by maximally general and accurate rules. The initial theoretical analysis and results also show that traditional encoding schemes used by Pittsburgh-style classifiers add an extra facet of diffiiculty. Such a bias plays a central role on the overall performance and scalability of CCS and other Pittsburgh-style systems using such encoding schemes.]]>
