Abstract:Artificial Immune System algorithms use antibodies which fully specify the solution of an optimization, learning, or pattern recognition problem. By being restricted to fully specified antibodies, an AIS algorithm can not make use of schemata or classes of partial solutions. This paper presents a symbiotic artificial immune system (SymbAIS) algorithm which is an extension of CLONALG algorithm. It uses partially specified antibodies and gradually builds up building blocks of suitable sub-antibodies. The algorit… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
