A Novel Evolutionary Feedforward Neural Network with Artificial Immunology

A hybrid algorithm to design the multi-layer feedforward neural network was proposed. Evolutionary programming is used to design the network that makes the training process tending to global optima. Artificial im-munology combined with simulated annealing algorithm is used to specify the initial weight vectors, therefore im-proves the probabiligy of training algorithm to converge to global optima. The applications of the neural network in the modulation-style recognition of analog modulated rader signals demonstrate the good performance of the network.
