It is time to announce the Learning Classifier System Open Repository (LCSOR), a meeting point to foster the popularization of these exciting evolutionary computation techniques. In this repository I will upload distinct implementations of different Learning Classifier Systems. To start with, I uploaded a first version of the sUpervised Classifier System (UCS). Notice I created a page for this contend under the label LCSOR . I hope practitioners will enjoy this experience.

After nearly a two years' trip into the deep mysteries of LCSs one expects to comprehend the intrinsics of these family of techniques. Dozens of papers and unimaginable hours behind and I am, still, hooked with the very basics. These are the thoughts of a wannabe researcher that makes baby steps into the research world. But first let me introduce myself briefly: I have spent a reasonable amount of time and effort with XCS-alike algorithms. I implemented myself, from the very scratch, the most relevant ones, and tested them uncountable times. But I am still learning about the basics. Every single time. Recently I re-implemented the good old XCSR, and I found a lot of trouble with it. Devil is in every detail, and I get him face to face. What is one supposed to do when stuck with a technique he is supposed to be a master of (or, at least, with a certain amount of experience behind with)? I confess I was very upset with myself. Depressed, with thoughts of failure flooding i...
