Abstract
Genetic Algorithms have been used from 1989 for both Neural Network training and design. Nevertheless, the use of a Genetic Algorithm for adjusting the Neural Network parameters can still be engaging. This work presents the study and validation of a different approach to this matter by introducing a Genetic Algorithm designed for Neural Network training. This algorithm features a mutation operator capable of working on three levels (network, neuron and layer) and with the mutation parameters encoded and evolving within each individual. We also explore the use of three types of hybridization: post-training, Lamarckian and Baldwinian. These proposes in combination with the algorithm, show for a fast and powerful tool for Neural Network training.
