Neuron Reordering For Better Neuro-genetic Hybrids
Jung Hwan Kim, Byung Ro Moon · 2002
We propose an approach to improve the performance of neuro-genetic hybrids. We used a two-dimensional genetic encoding to represent the network with less information loss and devised a careful restructuring of neural network so that the geographic contributions of neurons can be better reflected in the genetic process. We test handwritten character recognition problem to examine the performance of the proposed approach. Experimental results showed significant improvement by neuron reordering and two-dimensional encoding.
