ABSTRACT:
An adaptive computing system in which a plurality of instruction-like data structures called "classifiers" are stored in a classifier memory and operate upon selected ones of the data structures called "messages" stored in a message store. Each classifier is composed of one or more condition parts which specify the attributes of messages to be acted upon; an action part which specifies the operation to be performed on those messages specified by a condition part of that classifier; and a strength value which is indicative of the past utility of that classifier. The computing system includes means for monitoring the contribution (if any) made by each classifier toward achieveing a desired computational goal and for increasing the strength value associated with the more useful participating classfiers. The system is composed of a collection of interacting algorithms for controlling the current performance and the long term evolutionary growth of the system as defined by the changing contents of its classifier store, enhancing the system's adaptive capabilities without substantially increasing the computational task imposed.
