[comp.ai] Request for classifier system software package.

powell@boston.steinmetz (Powell) (10/11/88)

Recently, I have read some interesting articles on induction and classifier
systems. To better understand their capabilities and functionalities, 
I am looking for a free, classifier software package to experiment with.

I have recently used John Grefenstette's very impressive GENESIS package
for optimization and became very excited and convinced about the capabilities
of genetic algorithms. I would now like to experiment with a classifier
system as described by Holland with a bucket brigade or similar
algorithm for credit apportionment and a genetic algorithm for rule
combination. If someone can send me such a package then I can quickly evaluate
the power and appropriateness of classifiers to my problem.

Thanks in advance
