Since scores are generated by the GA based on the accuracy and frequency
of rules being triggered, how do you accurately set scores for rules that
generate a score dynamically?
I think dynamically generated scores are a great idea but unless someone
can come up with a workable solution to the above, I don't think they'll
fly. The Bayesian, backhair/popcorn/weeds, and percent-HTML scores are
essentially dynamically generated but they've been discretized to work
around this scoring limitation. This is a Hard Problem, but one worth
tackling IMHO.
