Abstract

Functional link neural network FLNN has emerged as an important tool used for function approximation and IT application on physical time series prediction. The standard learning scheme used for the training of FLNN is the Backpropagation BP learning algorithm. However, one of the crucial problems with BP learning algorithm is it tends to easily get trapped on local minima and thus affect the performance of FLNN. This paper proposed an alternative learning scheme for FLNN by using an artificial bee colony ABC optimisation algorithm as an attempt to overcome this problem. The performance of FLNN-ABC model is measured based on the prediction task on the physical time series data. The result of the prediction made by FLNN-ABC is compared with the original FLNN architecture and towards the end we found that FLNN-ABC gives better result in predicting the next-day ahead prediction.
