Coupling weight elimination with genetic algorithms to reduce network size and preserve generalization.

Recent theoretical results support that decreasing the number of free parameters in a neural network (i.e., weights) can improve generalization. These results have triggered the development of many approaches which try to determine an ?appropriate? network size for a given problem. The main goal has...
