© 2005-2012 IEEE. The success of any machine learning technique depends on the correct setting of its parameters and, when it comes to large-scale datasets, hand-tuning these parameters becomes impractical. However, very large-datasets can be pre-processed in order to distil information that could help in appropriately setting various systems parameters. In turn, this makes sophisticated machine learning methods easier to use to end-users. Thus, by modelling the performance of machine learning algorithms as a function of the structure inherent in very large datasets one could, in principle, detect "hotspots"in the parameters' space and thus, auto-tune machine learning algorithms for better dataset-specific performance. In this work we present a parameter setting mechanism for a rule-based evolutionary machine learning system that is capable of finding the adequate parameter value for a wide variety of synthetic classification problems with binary attributes and with/without added noise. Moreover, in the final validation stage our automated mechanism is able to reduce the computational time of preliminary experiments up to 71% for a challenging real-world bioinformatics dataset.
