Minimizing the System Error in Feedforward Neural Networks with Evolution Strategy

In this paper evolution strategy is applied to minimize the system error in feedforward neural networks. The evolution strategy does not use externally tuned learning parameters. Moreover, it is not necessary to evaluate a gradient information as required by the backpropagation algorithm. Experimental results are presented and compared with the standard backpropagation technique.
