Using an Evolutionary Agent-Based System for Classification Tasks

The ClassAge system is a multi-agent system for classification tasks. This system was proposed as an attempt to include the idea of intelligent agents in the structure of multi- classifier systems (MCSs). Also, it is aimed to overcome some drawbacks of MCSs and, as a consequence, to improve the performance of such systems. In this paper, an extension of ClassAge is presented. Basically, an optimization technique is used to optimize the functioning of ClassAge. Also, each ClassAge agent is composed of a group of classifiers, instead of one classifier that was used in the original version.
