Abstract

Feed-forward Artificial Neural Networks are popular choices among scientists and engineers for modeling complex real-world problems. One of the latest research areas in this field is evolving Artificial Neural Networks: NeuroEvolution. In this paper we investigate the effect of evolving a node transfer function and its parameters along with the evolution of connection weights in Evolutionary Artificial Neural Networks for the problem of handwritten digits recognition. The results are promising when compared with the traditional approach of homogeneous Artificial Neural Network with predefined transfer function.
