| Measuring Generalization Performance in Coevolutionary Learning (2008) | |||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| Coevolutionary learning involves a training process where training samples are instances of solutions that interact strategically to guide the evolutionary (learning) process. One main research issue is with the generalization performance, i.e., the search for solutions (e.g., input–output mappings) that best predict the required output for any new input that has not been seen during the evolutionary process. However, there is currently no such framework for determining the generalization performance in coevolutionary learning even though the notion of generalization is well-understood in machine learning. In this paper, we introduce a theoretical framework to address this research issue. We present the framework in terms of game-playing although our results are more general. Here, a strategy’s generalization performance is its average performance against all test strategies. Given that the true value may not be determined by | |||||||||||||||
