A Survey on Evolving Finite State Machine (FSM)

by Akira Imada (October 2004)

Data is not a knowledge but just a set of data. To simply put, Data Mining is to extract a knowledge from a set of data.

From the seminal proceedings of ALIFE II (1991)

Once I was fascinated the way FSM evolves from a very simple structure to a very complex one in this paper. Though structure of a Newral Network could also be evolved, the method would be more less tricky.

This paper regists to be searched for via google, but I finally found the html version at
