Abstract

Recently, Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) has been widely applied for training neural network. To improve the performance of PSO for high-dimensional solution space which always occurs in training NN, this paper introduces a new paradigm of particle swarm optimization named stochastic PSO (S-PSO). The feature of the S-PSO is its high ability for exploration. Consequently, when swarm size is relatively small, S-PSO performs much better than traditional PSO in training of NN. Hence if S-PSO is used to realize training of NN, computational cost of training can be reduced significantly.
