Abstract

All existing learning methods have particular bias that makes them suitable for specific kind of problems. Universal Learning Machine (ULM) should find the simplest data model for arbitrary data distributions. Several ways to create ULMs are outlined, and an algorithm based on creation of new global and local features combined with meta-learning is introduced. This algorithm is able to find simple solutions that sophisticated algorithms ignore, learn complex Boolean functions, complicated probability distributions, as well as the problems requiring multiresolution decision borders.
