Abstract

Subsymbolic approaches have been adopted in attempting to solve many AI problems. In order to find a near optimal solution to the problem a procedure is needed by which the subsymbolic components can be manipulated. In searching all but the simplest of solution spaces algorithms such as hill climbing will often result in only suboptimal solutions being found. Often search algorithms do not make sufficient use of information acquired from previous evaluations of possible solutions. Several forms of adaptive algorithm have been developed in an attempt to overcome this problem and produce robust search mechanisms, e.g., evolutionary algorithms, classifier systems. This paper discusses some adaptive algorithms and presents initial work on a novel form of adaptive algorithm.
