Abstract

Bankruptcy prediction is very important for all the organization since it affects the economy and rise many social problems with high costs. There are large number of techniques have been developed to predict the bankruptcy, which helps the decision makers such as investors and financial analysts. One of the bankruptcy prediction models is the hybrid model using Fuzzy C-means clustering and MARS, which uses static ratios taken from the bank financial statements for prediction, which has its own theoretical advantages. The performance of existing bankruptcy model can be improved by selecting the best features dynamically depend on the nature of the firm. This dynamic selection can be accomplished by Genetic Algorithm and it improves the performance of prediction model.

Genetic Programming with Behaviour-based Niching for Learning Guided Local Search in Vehicle Routing Problems

Genetic Programming Guided Local Search (GPGLS) learns utility functions that guide local search for vehicle routing. Its evolving programs can have similar fitness while inducing different search behaviour, making fitness alone an incomplete basis for population diversity management. We propose GPGLS with Behaviour-based Niching (BN-GPGLS), which characterises programs through six operator-level descriptors collected during local search. A current-generation archive selects fitness-competitive, compact representatives from strata of a behaviour score. Fixed policies use archive parents continuously, whereas adaptive policies activate them using training-fitness and standardised behaviour-dispersion signals, optionally with a tree-size condition. We compare four behaviour-based variants with a no-archive GPGLS control and fitness-based niching over 30 seed-matched runs on generated 200-customer instances. BN-Adaptive achieves the best descriptive average rank on a separate 90-instance monitoring set; aggregate routing-cost differences are small. All five archive policies produce lower final-population median tree sizes than the GPGLS control, with paired Wilcoxon comparisons remaining significant after Holm adjustment. These results identify useful solution-quality and program-size trade-offs within the evaluated setting, without attributing the size reductions to behaviour representation alone.

DCL-GPGLS: Dynamic Curriculum Learning for Genetic Programming Guided Local Search in Large-Scale Vehicle Routing

Genetic Programming Guided Local Search (GPGLS) uses genetic programming to evolve utility functions for guided local search in large-scale vehicle routing problems (LSVRPs). Evaluating every GP individual on every training instance at every generation is expensive, so GPGLS is usually trained on small instance batches. Existing curriculum-based GPGLS orders these batches mainly by instance size. Adaptive Curriculum Learning GPGLS (ACL-GPGLS) improves training efficiency by adapting when the search moves between fixed curriculum stages, but the instance difficulty order remains predefined. We propose DCL-GPGLS, which estimates the difficulty of each training instance from the current population's solution quality and updates the estimates during evolution. Each generation then receives a batch near a scheduled difficulty level, with a correction that limits repeated selection of the same instances. Experiments on a fixed training-test split of the CVRPLIB X set show that DCL-GPGLS achieves the best observed average rank and mean test cost among six training policies. It obtains the lowest mean cost on 36 of 65 unseen test instances and is significantly better than the static feedback-derived curriculum, matched in total evaluator calls, on 6 instances, with no significant difference on the remaining 59.

Meta-Representational Predictive Coding: Neuroscience-Informed Self-Supervised Learning

Self-supervised learning has become an important paradigm in the domains of machine intelligence and computational neuroscience. Nevertheless, current work on self-supervised learning (SSL) relies on biologically implausible credit assignment, i.e., backpropagation of errors, and feedforward inference, i.e., a sequential, non-parallel flow of information. Predictive coding (PC) offers a biologically plausible means to avoid backprop-specific limitations. However, unsupervised PC requires learning a generative model of raw input, which entails predicting high dimensional input; on the other hand, supervised PC learns a mapping between inputs to target labels and thus requires human annotation and incurs the drawbacks of supervised learning. In this work, we present a neuroscience-informed SSL model based on PC and active perception that we call meta-representational predictive coding (MPC). MPC sidesteps the need for a generative model of sensory input by learning to predict representations of data across parallel streams, resulting in an encoder-only learning-and-inference scheme.
