We show that evolutionary algorithms provide evident advantages due to their high scalability and flexibility, their ability to solve global optimization problems and optimize several criteria at the same time for feature selection, instance selection and other data reduction problems. In particular, we consider the usage of evolutionary algorithms with all kinds of machine learning tools, such as neural networks and fuzzy systems.
All our examples prove that Evolutionary Machine Learning is becoming more and more important in data analysis and we expect to see the further development of this field especially in respect to Big Data.

Additionally, EDM research works concentrate mostly on the development of automated support for learners. With the ongoing research in fields like distributive computing, fuzzy logic, neural networks etc, we can also be sure that the intelligence that will run the world will be far more advanced and heuristic than the kind we have today.

On the other hand, EC is a class of population-based iterative algorithms, which generate abundant data about the search space, problem feature and population information during the optimization process. Therefore, the data mining and machine learning techniques can also be used to analyze these data for improving the performance of EC.
A lot of successful applications have been reported, including the creation of new optimization paradigm such as Estimation of Distribution Algorithm, the adaptation of parameters or operators in an algorithm, mining the external archive for promising search regions, and so on.
A novel evolutionary data mining algorithm with applications to churn prediction Abstract: Classification is an important topic in data mining research. Given a set of data records, each of which belongs to one of a number of predefined classes, the classification problem is concerned with the discovery of classification rules that can allow records with unknown class membership to be correctly classified. Many algorithms have been developed to mine large data sets for classification models and they have been shown to be very effective.
However, when it comes to determining the likelihood of each classification made, many of them are not designed with such purpose in mind. For this, they are not readily applicable to such problems as churn prediction.
This carefully edited book reflects and advances the state of the art in the area of Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery with Evolutionary Algorithms. Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are stochastic search algorithms inspired by the process of neo-Darwinian evolution. The motivation for applying EAs to data.
For such an application, the goal is not only to predict whether or not a subscriber would switch from one carrier to another, it is also important that the likelihood of the subscriber's doing so be predicted. The reason for this is that a carrier can then choose to provide a special personalized offer and services to those subscribers who are predicted with higher likelihood to churn.
