Although mathematically elegant, back-propagation isn't perfect. Instead consider using particle swarm optimization (PSO) to train your neural network; here's how. You can think of a neural network as ...

Towards the weakness of BP neural network, an efficient PSC ship-selecting model combining improved PSO and SVM algorithm is developed in this paper. The scheme is validated by demonstration analysis ...

Journal of Coastal Research, SPECIAL ISSUE NO. 110. Recent Developments of Port, Marine, and Ocean Engineering (FALL 2020), pp. 295-298 (4 pages) The arrival of big data is a major challenge for ...

Particle swarm optimization isn't usually seen as the first-choice technique for training a neural network but, as James McCaffrey demonstrates, it's a useful alternative. Particle swarm optimization ...
