Evolutionary learning of nearest-neighbor MLP
Qiangfu Zhao, Takahiro Higuchi · IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks · 1996
The nearest-neighbor multilayer perceptron (NN-MLP) is a single-hidden-layer network suitable for pattern recognition. To design an NN-MLP efficiently, this paper proposes a new evolutionary algorithm consisting of four basic operations: recognition, remembrance, reduction, and review. Experimental results show that this algorithm can produce the smallest or nearly smallest networks from random initial ones.
