What is SKAT?
Symbolic Knowledge Acquisition Technology (SKAT).
A system based on SKAT develops an evolving model from a set of elementary blocks, sufficient to describe an arbitrarily complex algorithm hidden in data, instead of routine searching for the best coefficients for a solution that belongs to some predetermined group of functions. Each time a better model is found, the system determines the best regression parameters for that model. In most general terms, this technology can be classified as a branch of Evolutionary Programming.
