Evolutionary algorithms for training neural networks

Research output: Chapter in Book/Entry/PoemConference contribution

Abstract

This paper surveys the various approaches used to apply evolutionary algorithms to develop artificial neural networks that solve pattern recognition, classification, and other tasks. These approaches are classified into four groups, each addressing one aspect of an artificial neural network: (a) evolving connection weights; (b) evolving neural architectures; (c) evolving an ensemble of networks; and (d) evolving node functions. Hybrid approaches are also discussed.
