AN IMPROVED GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR TRAINING LAYERED FEEDFORWARD NEURAL NETWORKS

Abstract: The new genetic algorithm for training layered feedforward neural networks proposed here uses a mutation operator for performing the search behaviors of local optimization. Combining the random restart method with the local search technique, the algorithm can converge asymptotically to the optimal solution. Test with a practical example showed that the improved genetic algorithm is more efficient than the conventional genetic algorithm.

Key words: artificial neural network, genetic algorithms, layered feedforward neural networks
