This paper presents a new approach for the task of feedforward type neural network training process based on a multi-criterion efficiency measurement. Here we propose a novel hybrid neuro-genetic algorithm that tries to optimize a three dimension criterion vector composed by speed, accuracy, and percentage of convergence, which measures the overall stability of the training algorithm to converge to good minimal. The proposed approach takes the speed advantage of the conventional algorithms as well as the accuracy and percentage of convergence advantages of the genetic algorithms. The empirical results obtained up to now shows the strength and potentiality of the method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
