Abstract: This paper presents an evolutionary algorithm for
solving multi-objective optimization problems-based artificial neural
network (ANN). The multi-objective evolutionary algorithm used in
this study is genetic algorithm while ANN used is radial basis
function network (RBFN). The proposed algorithm named memetic
elitist Pareto non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-based RBFN
(MEPGAN). The proposed algorithm is implemented on medical
diseases problems. The experimental results indicate that the
proposed algorithm is viable, and provides an effective means to
design multi-objective RBFNs with good generalization capability
and compact network structure. This study shows that MEPGAN
generates RBFNs coming with an appropriate balance between
accuracy and simplicity, comparing to the other algorithms found in
literature.
