....Research on Learning Classi er Systems (LCSs) has received increasing attention over the last few years. This surge of interest has concretized itself in two di erent directions. First, a trend called classical LCSs hereafter comes from the simpli cation of Holland s initial framework [Hol85] by Wilson. The design of ZCS [Wil94] and then XCS [Wil95] resulted in a dramatic increase of LCS performance and applicability. The latter system, using the accuracy of the reward prediction as a tness measure, has proven its e ectiveness on di erent classes of problems such as adaptive behavior ....

....problem for confidlearn is the fact that it is not used in the typical way for predicting the value of actions, but for learning to estimate computations. Behavior processes, such as aimGoal, aimPlayer, and aimSelf do not have external, but mainly internal effects. The bucket brigade algorithm [2] was originally introduced in the context of rule based systems. Each rule is assigned a particular priority that is increased every time the rule was active. At the same time, the receiving rule must pay a particular amount of its priority to the rules that where active in the prior cycle ....

Identifying rules with process chunks, a similar mechanism is applicable to confidences.

The new classifier is specified in the third and fifth component and the mark is removed. Finally, the ACS uses the bucket brigade algorithm (Holland, 1985) to enable reward learning. Indeed, it does not use the more general bucket brigade algorithm that acts on a set of classifiers but it uses the implicit bucket brigade algorithm (Goldberg, 1989) where the currently active classifier makes a payment to the previously active classifier.

Moreover, CS tends to acquire a huge number of too specific and rarely used rules as discussed in Section 4.4.2. On the other hand, CS considers rules of chains by the bucket brigade algorithm [20], while the proposed algorithm does not. In summary, CS is appropriate for gaining long rule chains with fixed knowledge representations, while the proposed algorithm for gaining a set of complex rules, which are di#cult to describe by fixed knowledge representation.
