Over the last few years, the increasing interest in machine learning has resulted in the design and development of several competitive learners. Usually, the performance of these methods is evaluated by comparing the new techniques to state-of-the-art methods over a collection of real-world problems.
In early days, these comparisons followed no standard, and qualitative arguments [...]

Find below the presentation of the paper Beyond Homemade Artificial Data Sets by Núria Macià, Albert Orriols-Puig, and Ester Bernadó-Mansilla in the 2009 Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Systems (HAIS’09).

Tomorrow, the international Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Systems conference (HAIS) gets started in Salamanca with the special session of Knowledge Extraction based on Evolutionary Learning (KEEL). In this special session, the following 14 papers that use evolutionary algorithms for different purposes in the field of machine learning will be presented:
