Abstract

Artificial neural networks, evolutionary algorithms (and swarm intelligence) are common algorithms belonging to well known soft-computing algorithms. Both classes of algorithms have their history, principles and represent two different biological areas, converted to computer technology. Despite fact that scientists already exhibited that both systems exhibit almost the same behavior dynamics (chaotic regimes etc.), researchers still take both classes of algorithms as two different classes. We show in this paper, that there are some similarities, that can help to understand evolutionary algorithms as neural networks and vice versa.
