Abstract

This paper proposes high-dimensional data mining technique by integrating two data mining methods: Accuracy-based Learning Classifier Systems (XCS) and Random Forests (RF). Concretely, the proposed system integrates RF and XCS: RF generates several numbers of decision trees, and XCS generalizes the rules converted from the decision trees. The convert manner is as follows: (1) the branch node of the decision tree becomes the attribute; (2) if the branch node does not exist, the attribute of that becomes # for XCS; and (3) One decision tree becomes one rule at least. Note that # can become any value in the attribute. From the experiments of Multiplexer problems, we derive that: (i) the good performance of the proposed system; and (ii) RF helps XCS to acquire optimal solutions as knowledge by generating appropriately generalized rules.
