An optimizing BP neural network algorithm based on genetic algorithm

TLDR
A method that combines GA and BP to train the neural network works better; is less easily stuck in a local minimum; the trained network has a better generalization ability; and it has a good stabilization performance.
Abstract
A back-propagation (BP) neural network has good self-learning, self-adapting and generalization ability, but it may easily get stuck in a local minimum, and has a poor rate of convergence. Therefore, a method to optimize a BP algorithm based on a genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed to speed the training of BP, and to overcome BP's disadvantage of being easily stuck in a local minimum. The UCI data set is used here for experimental analysis and the experimental result shows that, compared with the BP algorithm and a method that only uses GA to learn the connection weights, our method that combines GA and BP to train the neural network works better; is less easily stuck in a local minimum; the trained network has a better generalization ability; and it has a good stabilization performance.

Risk assessment of knowledge fusion in an innovation ecosystem based on a GA-BP neural network

TL;DR: The comparison shows that the GA-BP neural network has faster convergence speed and higher stability, can achieve the goal more often, and reduces the possibility of the BP neural network falling into a local optimum instead of reaching global optimization.
