General Purpose Input Variables Extraction: A Genetic Algorithm Based Procedure GIVE A GAP

The paper presents an application of genetic algorithms to the problem of input variables selection for the design of neural systems. The basic idea of the proposed method lies in the use of genetic algorithms in order to select the set of variables to be fed to the neural networks. However, the main concept behind this approach is far more general and does not depend on the particular adopted model: it can be used for a wide category of systems, also non-neural, and with a variety of performance indicators. The proposed method has been tested on a simple case study, in order to demonstrate its effectiveness. The results obtained in the processing of experimental data are presented and discussed.
