Although artificial neural network based on backpropagation algorithm is an excellent system simulator, it has still unsolved problems of its structure-decision and learning method. That is, we cannot find a general approach to decide the structure of the neural network and cannot train it satisfactorily because of the local optimum point which it frequently falls into. In addition, although there are many successful applications using backpropagation learning algorithm, there are few efforts to improve the learning algorithm itself. In this study, we suggest a general way to construct the hidden layer of the neural network using binary genetic algorithm and also propose the various learning methods by which the global minimum value of the teaming error can be obtained. A XOR problem and line heating problems are investigated as examples.

The performance of convolutional deep learning networks is generally determined according to parameters of target dataset, structure of network, convolution kernel, activation function, and optimization algorithm. In this paper, a genetic algorithm is used to select the appropriate deep learning model and parameters for Alzheimer's classification and to compare the learning results with preliminary experiment. We compare and analyze the Alzheimer's disease classification performance of VGG-16, GoogLeNet, and ResNet to select an effective network for detecting AD and MCI. The simulation results show that the network structure is ResNet, the activation function is ReLU, the optimization algorithm is Adam, and the convolution kernel has a 3-dilated convolution filter for the accuracy of dementia medical images.

Hepatitis is a major public health problem all around the world. This paper proposes an automatic disease diagnosis system for hepatitis based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) Wavelet Kernel (WK) Extreme Learning Machines (ELM). The classifier used in this paper is single layer neural network (SLNN) and it is trained by ELM learning method. The hepatitis disease datasets are obtained from UCI machine learning database. In Wavelet Kernel Extreme Learning Machine (WK-ELM) structure, there are three adjustable parameters of wavelet kernel. These parameters and the numbers of hidden neurons play a major role in the performance of ELM. Therefore, values of these parameters and numbers of hidden neurons should be tuned carefully based on the solved problem. In this study, the optimum values of these parameters and the numbers of hidden neurons of ELM were obtained by using Genetic Algorithm (GA). The performance of proposed GA-WK-ELM method is evaluated using statical methods such as classification accuracy, sensitivity and specivity analysis and ROC curves. The results of the proposed GA-WK-ELM method are compared with the results of the previous hepatitis disease studies using same database as well as different database. When previous studies are investigated, it is clearly seen that the high classification accuracies have been obtained in case of reducing the feature vector to low dimension. However, proposed GA-WK-ELM method gives satisfactory results without reducing the feature vector. The calculated highest classification accuracy of proposed GA-WK-ELM method is found as 96.642 %.

In this study, optimization design technique for control of solid-fluid coupled force (sloshing) using evolutionary method is suggested. Artificial neural networks(ANN) and genetic algorithm(GA) is employed as evolutionary optimization method. The ANN is used to analysis of the sloshing and the genetic algorithm is adopted as an optimization algorithm. In the creation of ANN learning data, the design of experiments is adopted to higher performance of the ANN learning using minimum learning data and ALE(Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian) numerical method is used to obtain the sloshing analysis results. The proposed optimization technique is applied to the minimization of sloshing of the water in the tank lorry with baffles under 2 second lane change.

This paper proposes a method for pattern recognition using spectral analysis and a hybrid genetic-neural-fuzzy networks. The feature vectors using spectral analysis on contour sequences of 2-D images are extracted, and the vectors are not effected by translation, rotation and scale variance. A combined model using the advantages of conventional method is proposed, those are supervised learning BP, global searching genetic algorithm, and unsupervised learning fuzzy c-method. The proposed method is applied to 10 aircraft recognition to confirm the performance of the method. The experimental results show that the proposed method is better accuracy than conventional method using BP or fuzzy c-method, and learning speed is enhanced.

Familial searching is a useful technique in a forensic investigation. Using genetic information, it is possible to identify individuals, determine familial relationships, and obtain racial/ethnic information. The total number of shared alleles (TNSA) and likelihood ratio (LR) methods have traditionally been used, and novel data-mining classification methods have recently been applied here as well. However, it is difficult to apply these methods to identify familial relationships above the third degree (e.g., uncle-nephew and first cousins). Therefore, we propose to apply a stacking ensemble machine learning algorithm to improve the accuracy of familial relationship identification. Using real data analysis, we obtain superior relationship identification results when applying meta-classifiers with a stacking algorithm rather than applying traditional TNSA or LR methods and data mining techniques.

The Pulse Coupled Neural Network (PCNN) is a kind of neural network models that consists of spiking neurons and local connections. The PCNN was originally proposed as a model that can reproduce the synchronous phenomena of the neurons in the cat visual cortex. Recently, the PCNN has been applied to the various image processing applications, e.g., image segmentation, edge detection, pattern recognition, and so on. The method for the image matching using the PCNN had been proposed as one of the valuable applications of the PCNN. In this method, the Genetic Algorithm is applied to the PCNN parameter learning for the image matching. In this study, we propose the method of the similar image rating using the PCNN. In our method, the Genetic Algorithm based method is applied to the parameter learning of the PCNN. We show the performance of our method by simulations. From the simulation results, we evaluate the efficiency and the general versatility of our parameter learning method.

In swarm robot systems, each robot must behaves by itself according to the its states and environments, and if necessary, must cooperates with other robots in order to carry out a given task. Therefore it is essential that each robot has both learning and evolution ability to adapt the dynamic environments. In this paper, reinforcement learning method using many SVM based on structural risk minimization and distributed genetic algorithms is proposed for behavior learning and evolution of collective autonomous mobile robots. By distributed genetic algorithm exchanging the chromosome acquired under different environments by communication each robot can improve its behavior ability. Specially, in order to improve the performance of evolution, selective crossover using the characteristic of reinforcement learning that basis of Cascade SVM is adopted in this paper.

A hybrid genetic algorithm based learning method for the morphological neural networks (MNN) is proposed. The morphological neural networks are based on max-plus algebra, therefore, it is difficult to optimize the coefficients of MNN by the learning method with derivative operations. In order to solve the difficulty, a hybrid genetic algorithm based learning method to optimize the coefficients of MNN is used. Through the image compression/reconstruction experiment using test images extracted from standard image database(SIDBA), it is confirmed that the quality of the reconstructed images obtained by the proposed method is better than that obtained by the conventional neural networks.

This paper proposes a reinforcement genetic programming based on the reinforcement learning method for the performance improvement of genetic programming. Genetic programming which has tree structure program has much flexibility of problem expression because it has no limitation in the size of chromosome compared to the other evolutionary algorithms. But worse results on the point of convergence associated with mutation and crossover operations are often due to this characteristic. Therefore the sizes of population and maximum generation are typically larger than those of the other evolutionary algorithms. This paper proposes a new method that executes crossover and mutation operations based on reinforcement and inhibition mechanism of reinforcement learning. The validity of the proposed method is evaluated by appling it to the artificial ant problem.
