Abstract
Roughly described, a computer-implemented evolutionary data mining system includes a memory storing a candidate gene database in which each candidate individual has a respective fitness estimate; a gene pool processor which tests individuals from the candidate gene pool on training data and updates the fitness estimate associated with the individuals in dependence upon the tests; and a gene harvesting module for deploying selected individuals from the gene pool, wherein the gene pool processor includes a competition module which selects individuals for discarding in dependence upon their updated fitness estimate. The system maintains the ancestry count for each of the candidate individuals, and may use this information to adjust the competition among the individuals, to adjust the selection of individuals for further procreation, and/or for other purposes.
