A Co-Evolutionary Computing for Statistical Learning Theory

Learning and evolving are two basics for data mining. As compared with classical learning theory based on objective function with minimizing training errors, the recently evolutionary computing has had an efficient approach for constructing optimal model without the minimizing training errors. The global search of evolutionary computing in solution space can settle the local optima problems of learning models. In this research, combining co-evolving algorithm into statistical learning theory, we propose an co-evolutionary computing for statistical learning theory for overcoming local optima problems of statistical learning theory. We apply proposed model to classification and prediction problems of the learning. In the experimental results, we verify the improved performance of our model using the data sets from UCI machine learning repository and KDD Cup 2000.
