Genetically generated neural networks. II. Searching for an optimal representation
Luis Martí · 2003
Genetic algorithms (GAs) make use of an internal representation of a given system in order to perform optimization functions. The actual structural layout of this representation, called a genome, has a crucial impact on the outcome of the optimization process. The author reports the effects of different internal representations in a GA, which generates neural networks. A second GA was used to optimize the genome structure. This structure produces an optimized system within a shorter time interval. The work represents a first step in genetically aided system design and self optimization.>
