Further Information

Neural Networks (NN) proved to be a powerful problem solving mechanism with great ability to learn. The success and speed of training is based on the initial parameter settings such as architecture, initial weights, learning rates and others. The most used method of training Neuron Networks is the back propagation of the gradient. Although this method provides a global optimal solution in a reasonable time, it can converge towards local minimum, in addition to large number of parameters that should be fixed previously. Within this framework of study, we propose a new coding for a hierarchical genetic algorithm for the determination of the structure and the training of the Neuron Networks. These algorithms are known for structures' an parameters' optimization. We will prove that Hierarchical genetic algorithm can improve the result of backpropagation of gradient.
