This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Simulated Evolution and Learning, SEAL 2012, held in Dunedin, New Zealand, in December 2014. The 42 full papers and 29 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 109 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on evolutionary optimization; evolutionary multi-objective optimization; evolutionary machine learning; theoretical developments; evolutionary feature reduction; evolutionary scheduling and combinatorial optimization; real world applications and evolutionary image analysis.

Simulated Evolution and Learning

Ryan J. Urbanowicz

This accessible introduction shows the reader how to understand, implement, adapt, and apply Learning Classifier Systems (LCSs) to interesting and difficult problems. The text builds an understanding from basic ideas and concepts. The authors first explore learning through environment interaction, and then walk through the components of LCS that form this rule-based evolutionary algorithm. The applicability and adaptability of these methods is highlighted by providing descriptions of common methodological alternatives for different components that are suited to different types of problems from data mining to autonomous robotics. The authors have also paired exercises and a simple educational LCS (eLCS) algorithm (implemented in Python) with this book. It is suitable for courses or self-study by advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in subjects such as Computer Science, Engineering, Bioinformatics, and Cybernetics, and by researchers, data analysts, and machine learning practitioners.
