This paper proposes a novel learning classifier system (LCS) framework named ELSDeCS (Encoding, Learning, Sampling, and Decoding Classifier System) which can employ any dimensionality reduction method as pre-processing of learning and has its own components for extracting interpretable rule representations. We also propose two LCSs as examples of ELSDeCS. The first is DCAXCSR2, which is a revised version of the conventional system, and the second is VAEXCSR, which employs a deep generative model for dimensionality reduction. The experimental results on a classification task of handwritten digits show that only VAEXCSR can extract useful rule representations thanks to its robustness of decoding newly generated samples.
