Abstract

In this paper particle swarm optimization is used to implement a synthesis procedure for cellular neural networks autoassociative memories. The use of this optimization technique allows a global search for computing the model parameters that identify designed memories, providing a synthesis procedure that takes into account the robustness of the solution. In particular, the design parameters can be modified during the convergence in order to guarantee minimum recall performances of the network in terms of robustness to noise overlapped to input patterns. Numerical results confirm the good performances of the designed networks when patterns are affected by different kinds of noise.
