چکیده

Harmony search algorithm is a meta-heuristic optimization method imitating the music improvisation process, where musicians improvise their instruments’ pitches searching for a perfect state of harmony. First, an improved harmony search algorithm is presented using the concept of swarm intelligence. Next, it is employed for training feedforward neural networks for three benchmark classification problems. Then, the performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with that of three methods. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

On the Use of Quasi-Newton-Based Training of a Feedforward Neural Network for Time Series Forecasting

This paper examines the e ectiveness of using a quasi-Newton based training of a feedforward neural network for forecasting. We have developed a novel quasi-Newton based training algorithm using a generalized logistic function. We have shown that a well designed feed forward structure can lead to a good forecast without the use of the more complicated feedback/feedforward structure of the recur...
