Abstract
Roughly described, in an evolutionary technique for finding optimal solutions to a provided problem, a computer system uses a grouping algorithm that is better able to find diverse and optimum solutions in data mining environment with multiple solution landscapes and a plurality of candidate individuals. Each candidate individual identifies with a potential solution, and is associated with a testing experience level and one or more partition tags. Each candidate individual is assigned into one of a plurality of competition groups in dependence upon the individual's testing experience level and partition tag. During competition among candidate individuals, a candidate individual can only replace another candidate individual if both the candidate individuals have a common partition tag and are in the same competition group. A candidate individual cannot replace another candidate individual if they have different partition tags or are in different competition groups.
