4 Conclusion
The experiments have confirmed that, firstly by encoding the network topology and weights the search space is affined; secondly, by the inheritence of connection weights, the learning stage is speeded up considerably. The presented method generates efficient networks in a shorter time compared to actual methods. The new encoding scheme improves the effectiveness of evolutionary process: weights of the neural network included in the genetic encoding scheme and good genetics operators give acceptable results.
