Abstract
A system and method of combining and improving sets of diverse prescriptors for Evolutionary Surrogate-assisted Prescription (ESP) model is described. The prescriptors are distilled into neural networks and evolved further using ESP. The system and method can handle diverse sets of prescriptors in that it makes no assumptions about the form of the input (i.e., contexts) of the initial prescriptors; it relies only on the prescriptions made in order to distill each prescriptor to a neural network with a fixed form. The resulting set of high performing prescriptors provides a practical way for ESP to incorporate external human and machine knowledge and generate more accurate and fitting set of solutions.
