Multi-valued and universal binary neurons (MVN and UBN) are the neural processing elements with the complex-valued weights and high functionality. It is possible to implement an a...
Wrapper-based feature selection is attractive because wrapper methods are able to optimize the features they select to the specific learning algorithm. Unfortunately, wrapper met...
In this paper, we present a novel and efficient approach for automatic design of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) by evolving to the optimal network configuration(s) within an ar...
