Abstract

In this paper, we study the means of developing an imitation process allowing to improve learning in the framework of learning classifier systems. We present three different approaches in the way a behavior observed may be taken into account through a guidance interaction: two approaches using a model of this behavior, and one without modelling. Those approaches are evaluated and compared in different environments when they are applied to three major classifier systems: ZCS, XCS and ACS. Results are analyzed and discussed. They highlight the importance of using a model of the observed behavior to enable an efficient imitation. Moreover, they show the advantages of taking this model into account by a specialized internal action. Finally, they bring new results of comparison between ZCS, XCS and ACS.
