RUCIB: a novel rule-based classifier based on BRADO algorithm

Classification is a widely used supervised learning technique that enables models to discover the relationship between a set of features and a specified label using available data. Its applications span various fields such as engineering, telecommunication, astronomy, and medicine. In this paper, we propose a novel rule-based classifier called RUCIB (RUle-based Classifier Inspired by BRADO), which draws inspiration from the socio-inspired swarm intelligence algorithm known as BRADO. RUCIB introduces two key aspects: the ability to accommodate multiple values for features within a rule and the capability to explore all data features simultaneously. To evaluate the performance of RUCIB, we conducted experiments using ten databases sourced from the UCI machine learning database repository. In terms of classification accuracy, we compared RUCIB to ten well-known classifiers. Our results demonstrate that, on average, RUCIB outperforms Naive Bayes, SVM, PART, Hoeffding Tree, C4.5, ID3, Random Forest, CORER, CN2, and RACER by 9.32%, 8.97%, 7.58%, 7.4%, 7.34%, 7.34%, 7.22%, 5.06%, 5.01%, and 1.92%, respectively.
