Abstract
A system, method and program product for selecting an algorithm and feature set to solve a problem. A perpetual analytics system is disclosed that provides a genetic algorithm for jointly selecting an algorithm and feature set to solve a problem, comprising: an evolutionary computing engine for processing data encoded as chromosomes, wherein each chromosome encodes an algorithm and a feature set; a domain knowledge store that maintains a plurality of algorithms and a plurality of features; a system for applying a generation of chromosomes to a set of data to provide a set of results; and a fitness function for evaluating the set of results to rate a performance of each chromosome in the set of chromosomes; wherein the evolutionary computing engine is adapted to evolve a subset of the set of chromosomes into a new generation of chromosomes.
