Bounding Learning Time in XCSMartin V. Butz, David E. Goldberg, and Pier Luca Lanzi Illinois Genetic Algorithms Laboratory (IlliGAL), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL, 61801butz@illigal.ge.uiuc.edu deg@illigal.ge.uiuc.edu lanzi@illigal.ge.uiuc.edu Abstract. It has been shown empirically that the XCS classifier system solves typical classification problems in a machine learning competitive way. However, until now, no learning time estimate has been derived analytically for the system. This paper introduces a time estimate that bounds the learning time of XCS until maximally accurate classifiers are found. We assume a domino convergence model in which each attribute is successively specialized to the correct value. It is shown that learning time in XCS scales polynomially in problem length and problem complexity and thus in a machine learning competitive way. LNCS 3103, p. 739 ff. lncs@springer.de
