Combinations of genetic algorithms and neural networks: a survey of the state of the art

Abstract

Various schemes for combining genetic algorithms and neural networks have been proposed and tested in recent years, but the literature is scattered among a variety of journals, proceedings and technical reports. Activity in this area is clearly increasing. The authors provide an overview of this body of literature drawing out common themes and providing, where possible, the emerging wisdom about what seems to work and what does not.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
