Abstract

The principal aim of this article is to investigate whether good automatically learned policies can be generated using training examples along with an Evolutionary Algorithm that uses a certain method (Algorithm 1) to calculate the fitness of a policy. The training examples are used as input to the learning algorithm; they describe a number of solved instances in a certain domain. Our work deals with the blocks world domain. A system has been developed where a set of policies is randomly generated and then evolved. Each policy is composed of an ordered set of rules; a fitness value is assigned to each policy according to its performance on the training examples using Algorithm 1. A policy that solves any blocks world problem, though not optimal, has been learned in this way.
