Genetic Algorithm-Based VariableTranslation Wavelet NeuralNetwork anditsApplication

A variable translation wavelet neuralnetwork (VTWNN)trained bygenetic algorithm ispresented inthis paper.In theproposed waveletneuralnetwork, the translation parameters arevariables depending on the network inputs. Thanks tothevariable translation parameter, thenetworkbecomesan adaptive one,providing better performance andincreased learning ability thanconventional wavelet neural networks.
