Abstract
Roughly described, a computer-implemented evolutionary data mining system implements a genetic algorithm. The Genetic algorithm includes a requirements checkpoint, which selects individuals for discarding from the pool of candidate genomes which do not meet a predetermined minimum behavioral requirement for operating in production. The requirements checkpoint enforces an absolute minimum threshold for a behavioral characteristic of the individual, and is different from a competition step in which individuals are selected for removal on the basis of comparisons with each other. A requirements checkpoint may be inserted at various points within the genetic algorithm flow or at reasonable intervals during the training cycle. If at any of these checkpoints the minimum requirement is not met, the candidate individual may be removed from the candidate pool.
