Summary. This chapter focuses on the evolution of ARTMAP architectures, using genetic algorithms, with the objective of improving
generalization performance and alleviating the ART category proliferation problem. We refer to the resulting architectures
as GFAM, GEAM, and GGAM. We demonstrate through extensive experimentation that evolved ARTMAP architectures exhibit good generalization
and are of small size, while consuming reasonable computational effort to produce an optimal or a sub-optimal network. Furthermore,
we compare the performance of GFAM, GEAM and GGAM with other competitive ARTMAP structures that have appeared in the literature
and addressed the category proliferation problem in ART.
