چکیده
This paper addresses the application of Self-adaptive Global Best Harmony Search (SGHS) algorithm for the supervised training of feed-forward neural networks (NNs). A structure suitable to data representation of NNs is adapted to SGHS algorithm. The technique is empirically tested and verified by training NNs on two classification benchmarking problems. Overall training time, sum of squared errors, training and testing accuracies of SGHS algorithm is compared with other harmony search algorithms and the standard back-propagation algorithm. The experiments presented that the proposed algorithm lends itself very well to training of NNs and it is also highly competitive with the compared methods.

A Differential Evolution and Spatial Distribution based Local Search for Training Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Network
Abstract Many parameter-tuning algorithms have been proposed for training Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Networks (FWNNs). Absence of appropriate structure, convergence to local optima and low speed in learning algorithms are deficiencies of FWNNs in previous studies. In this paper, a Memetic Algorithm (MA) is introduced to train FWNN for addressing aforementioned learning lacks. Differential Evolution...

متن کاملIIR System Identification Using Improved Harmony Search Algorithm with Chaos
Due to the fact that the error surface of adaptive infinite impulse response (IIR) systems is generally nonlinear and multimodal, the conventional derivative based techniques fail when used in adaptive identification of such systems. In this case, global optimization techniques are required in order to avoid the local minima. Harmony search (HS), a musical inspired metaheuristic, is a recently ...
