Abstract

This paper focuses on lazy adaptation knowledge learning (LAKL) using frequent closed itemset extraction. This approach differs from eager adaptation knowledge learning (EAKL) by the number of cases used in the learning process and by the moment at which the process is triggered. Where EAKL aims to compute adaptation knowledge once on the whole case base with the idea of solving every future target problem, LAKL computes adaptation knowledge on a subset of cases close to the target problem when a new problem has to be solved. The paper presents experiments on generated datasets from Boolean functions and on a real-world dataset, studying especially how the size of the case base used impacts performance. The results show that LAKL outperforms EAKL in precision and correct answer rate and that it is therefore better not to use the whole case base for adaptation knowledge learning.

Notes

  1. 1.

    This translation may involve some loss of information. For example, a numerical feature is typically translated into several Boolean attributes, each of them consisting in the membership to an interval.

  2. 2.

    This is related to the following result. Let \(\delta {\texttt{x}}^{ij} = \{a^v\in \varDelta {\texttt{x}}^{ij}~|~v\in \{\pmb {{\mathtt{-}}}, \pmb {{\mathtt{+}}}\}\}\). Then, it can be shown that \({\texttt{x}}^{a}{\mathtt{:}}{\texttt{x}}^{b}{\mathtt{:\!:}}{\texttt{x}}^s{\mathtt{:}}{\texttt{x}}^{{\texttt{tgt}}}\) iff \(\delta {\texttt{x}}^{ab}=\delta {\texttt{x}}^{s\,{\texttt{tgt}}}\).
