Thread Subject: Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithm

Hi All of You
How to optimize Feed Forward Neural Network output using Genetic Algorithm instead of backpropagation Algorithm. i.e. to used GA for weights optimization.
A small Matlab code will help me alot
thanks

Genetic algorithms are seldom used to find
weights because they take too long. However,
they are used to find network topology. For
a given topology, weights are found via backprop.

Try GOOGLE GROUP searching in the archives of
comp.ai.neural-nets as well CSSM.

Try GOOGLE WEB searching in Citeseer and Neuroprose.

Hope this helps.
