RESEARCH INTERESTS:
My research is mainly concerned with the usage of Learning Classifier Systems (LCS), a family of evolutionary rule-based online machine learning algorithms, to strengthen the self-learning property of OC systems. I pursue the aim of unlocking the strong potential this learning paradigm exhibits. Therefore, I am enhancing its algorithmic structure toward a more proactive means of gathering new knowledge and, thus, building up an interpretable knowledge base.
Beside my research focus, I'm also very interested in:
- Further Evolutionary Machine Learning algorithms (GP, CGP, etc.)
- Machine Learning in general and its unsolved challenges
- Computational Intelligence in general
- Organic Computing, Autonomic Computing and general Self-* Systems
