This research introduces a general class of functions serving as generalized neuron models to be used in artificial neural networks. They are cast in the common framework of comp...
Maternal influence on offspring goes beyond strict nuclear (DNA) inheritance: inherited maternal mRNA, mitochondria, caring and nurturing are all additional sources that affect...
Abstract. One of the most influential factors in the quality of the solutions found by an evolutionary algorithm is the appropriateness of the fitness function. Specifically in ...
Evolutionary algorithms are a promising approach for the automated design of artificial neural networks, but they require a compact and efficient genetic encoding scheme to repres...
This paper presents an approach to the joint optimization of neural network structure and weights which can take advantage of backpropagation as a specialized decoder. The approac...
