Abstract

Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are deployed for multi-objective Pareto optimal design of Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH)-type neural networks that have been used for modelling of a complex process (such as explosive cutting process) using some input-output experimental data. In this way, EAs with a new encoding scheme is firstly presented to evolutionary design of the generalized GMDH-type neural networks in which the connectivity configurations in such networks are not limited to adjacent layers. Multi-objective EAs (non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm, NSGA-II) with a new diversity preserving mechanism are secondly used for Pareto optimization of such GMDH-type neural networks. Optimal Pareto fronts are obtained which exhibit the trade-off between pair of conflicting objectives and, thus, provide different nondominated optimal choices of GMDH-type neural networks models for such complex process.
