The experiments, performed on several datasets, show the suitability of the genetic-based learning classifier systems for classification tasks. Both XCS and GALE significantly achieved better results than IB1 and Naive Bayes. Besides, any method could not outperform XCS and GALE significantly.}, identifier = {02087901}, }
