Genetic algorithm for CNN template learning

Abstract

A learning algorithm for space invariant cellular neural networks (CNNs) is described. Learning is formulated as an optimization problem. Exploration of any specified domain of stable CNNs is possible by the current approach. Templates are derived using a genetic optimization algorithm. Details of the algorithm are discussed and several application results are shown. Using this algorithm, propagation-type and gray-scale-output CNNs can also be designed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
