Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach to clustering using an accuracy-based Learning Classifier System. Our approach achieves this by exploiting the generalization mechanisms inherent to such systems. The purpose of the work is to develop an approach to learning rules which accurately describe clusters without prior assumptions as to their number within a given dataset. Favourable comparisons to the commonly used k-means algorithm are demonstrated on a number of synthetic datasets.
