چکیده

This work introduces SymbPar, a parallel meta-evolutionary algorithm designed to build Radial Basis Function Networks minimizing the number of parameters needed to be set by hand. Parallelization is implemented using independent agents to evaluate every individual. Experiments over classifications problems show that the new method drastically reduces the time took by sequential algorithms, while maintaining the generalization capabilities and sizes of the nets it builds.

Training Radial Basis Function Neural Network using Stochastic Fractal Search Algorithm to Classify Sonar Dataset

Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBF NNs) are one of the most applicable NNs in the classification of real targets. Despite the use of recursive methods and gradient descent for training RBF NNs, classification improper accuracy, failing to local minimum and low-convergence speed are defects of this type of network. In order to overcome these defects, heuristic and meta-heuristic algorith...
