An Evolutionary Approach for Tuning Artificial Neural Network Parameters
نویسندگان
چکیده
The widespread use of artificial neural networks and the difficult work regarding the correct specification (tuning) of parameters for a given problem are the main aspects that motivated the approach purposed in this paper. This approach employs an evolutionary search to perform the simultaneous tuning of initial weights, transfer functions, architectures and learning rules (learning algorithm parameters). Experiments were performed and the results demonstrate that the method is able to find efficient networks with satisfactory generalization in a shorter search time.

متن کاملA Reliability Approach on Redesigning the Warehouses in Supply Chain with Uncertain Parameters via Integrated Monte Carlo Simulation and Tuned Artificial Neural Network
In this paper, a reliability approach on reconfiguration decisions in a supply chain network is studied based on coupling the simulation concepts and artificial neural network. In other words, due to the limited budget for warehouse relocation in a supply chain, the failure probability is assessed for determining the robust decision for future supply chain configuration. Traditional solving ...
