Abstract

In this paper we apply Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to the training process of a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) on the problem of localizing a mobile GSM network terminal inside a building.

The localization data includes the information about the average GSM and WiFi signals in each of the given (x,y,floor) coordinates from more than two thousand points inside a five story building.

We show that the PSO algorithm could be with success applied as an initial training algorithm for the MLP for both classification and regression problems.
