A Neuro-Genetic Technique for Pruning and Optimization of ANN Weights

A novel technique for optimization of artificial neural network (ANN) weights which combines pruning and Genetic Algorithm (GA) has been proposed. The technique first defines “relevance” of initialized weights in a statistical sense by introducing a coefficient of dominance for each weight and subse...
