Training feedforward neural networks using multi-phase particle swarm optimization

The multi-phase particle swarm optimization algorithm (MPPSO) is a variant of the particle swarm optimization algorithm. It simultaneously evolves multiple groups of particles that change their search criterion when changing the phases, and also incorporates hill-climbing. This paper examines the applicability of MPPSO in training feedforward neural network.
