ABSTRACT

 

 

This report documents the development of a system to automatically generate the structure of a learning model, specifically a modular neural network.

 

The system required the development of three sub-systems, these are,

 

·        A system to create, train, and manipulate a neural network

 

·        A system to create, train, and manipulate a modular network

 

·        A system to implement a genetic algorithm, capable of ‘breeding’ neural networks

 

The systems are combined to produce a program capable of using the genetic algorithm to breed neural network for use in a modular network.
