Ant colony optimization for the design of Modular Neural Networks in pattern recognition

Abstract

We describe in this paper the architecture of a modular neural network (MNN) for pattern recognition. More recently, the study of modular neural network techniques theory has been receiving significant attention. The design of a recognition system also requires careful attention. The paper aims to use the Ant Colony paradigm to optimize the architecture of this Modular Neural Network for pattern recognition in order to obtain a good percentage of image identification and in the shortest time possible.
