Artificial Neural Network Learning Using Improved Genetic Algorithms, D. K. Chaturvedi

D. K. Chaturvedi Dr.

The feedforward back-propagation artificial neural networks (ANN) are widely used to control the various industrial process, for modelling, simulation of systems and forecasting. The backpropagation learning has various drawbacks such as slowness in learning, stuck in local minima, requies functional derivative of aggregation function and thresholding function to minimize error function. Various researchers have suggested a number of improvement in simple back-propagation learning algorithm developed by Widrow and Holf in 1956. In this paper, a program is developed for feedforward artificial neural network with genetic algorithm (GA) as the learning mechanism to overcome some of the disadvantages of back-propagation learning …
