Abstract

This paper presents a new algorithm to construct a neural network ensemble (NNE) based on heterogeneous component neural networks with negative correlation learning. The constructive algorithm consists of two parts: a sub-algorithm to construct best heterogeneous component neural networks with negative correlation learning dynamically (CBHNN), and a sub-algorithm to construct heterogeneous NNE with trained heterogeneous neural networks incrementally (CHNNE). The experiment results showe that HNNE is better than the traditional homological NNE method.
