| Summary: | In this paper, combination between a Fuzzy ARTMAP-based artificial neural network (ANN) model and the genetic algorithm (GA) for performing cooperative learning is described. In our previous work, we have proposed a hybrid network integrating the Fuzzy ARTMAP (FAM) network with the Dynamic Decay Adjustment (DDA) algorithm (known as FAMDDA) for tackling pattern classification tasks. In this work, the FAMDDA network is employed as the platform for the GA to perform weight reinforcement. The performance of the proposed system (FAMDDA-GA) is assessed by means of generalization on unseen data from three benchmark problems. The results obtained are analyzed, discussed, and compared with those from FAM-GA. The results reveal that FAMDDA-GA performs better than FAM-GA in terms of test accuracy in the three benchmark problems.
