✦ Synopsis

The evolutionary approach to artificial neural networks has been rapidly developing in recent years and shows great potential as a powerful tool. However, most evolutionary neural networks have paid little attention to the fact that they can evolve from modules. This paper presents a hybrid method of modular neural networks and evolutionary algorithm as a promising model for intelligent systems. To build a neural network system that is rich in autonomy and creativity, some ideas of artificial life have been adopted. This paper describes the concepts and methodologies for the evolvable model of modular neural networks, which might not only develop spontaneously new functionality, but also grow and evolve its own structure autonomously. We show the potential of the method by applying it to a visual categorization task with handwritten digits. The evolutionary mechanism has shown a strong potential to generate useful network architectures from an initial set of randomly connected networks.

Methodology for active structural control using neural networks has been proposed by Ghaboussi and his co-workers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] in the past several years. The control algorithm in the mathematically formulated methods is replaced by a neural network controller (neuro-controller). Neuro-co

In a multicast packet switching system, multiple output ports can send out packets simultaneously by means of the packet copying function. In realizing such a switching system, the transmission pattern must be determined for successively arising transfer requests, so that the number of transmitted p
