This paper proposes a Gaussian-Cauchy Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to provide the optimized parameters for a Feed Forward Neural Network. The improved PSO trains the Neural Network by optimizing the network weights and bias in the Neural Network. In comparison with the Back Propagatio...
