Application of genetic BP network to discriminating earthquakes and explosions

Abstract

In this paper, we develop GA-BP algorithm by combining genetic algorithm (GA) with back propagation (BP) algorithm and establish genetic BP neural network. We also applied BP neural network based on BP algorithm and genetic BP neural network based on GA-BP algorithm to discriminate earthquakes and explosions. The obtained result shows that the discriminating performance of genetic BP network is slightly better than that of BP network.
