Abstract

Multilayer perceptron networks have been successfully trai- ned by error backpropagation algorithm. We show that Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) with minimum velocity constraints can efficiently be applied to train multilayer perceptrons to overcome premature convergence and alleviates the influence of dimensionality increasing. The experiments of two multilayer perceptrons trained by PSO with minimum velocity constraints are carried out. The result clearly demonstrate the improvement of the proposed algorithm over the standard PSO in terms of convergence.
