Optimization of connecting weights using Metaheuristic Techniques: A Comparative Analysis

This Paper addresses on the minimization of mean square error of an ANN and for achieving this, the weights have been optimized with the help of the metaheuristic techniques. This paper addresses two techniques i.e., Simple PSO besides a few variants and TLBO algorithms to optimize the weights of ANN. The results of the two algorithms were compared and the PSO technique has given better results
