In this article, we explore how genetic algorithms can optimize the weights and thresholds of neural networks to enhance performance and accuracy. We begin by introducing fundamental concepts and principles of genetic algorithms, including selection, crossover, and mutation operations, to establish a foundation for their application in neural network optimization. Next, we detail the integration methodology between genetic algorithms and neural networks, demonstrating how to encode network parameters into chromosomes and implement fitness evaluation using mean squared error calculations. Practical examples with Python code snippets will illustrate population initialization, fitness-based selection, and backpropagation integration. Finally, we discuss evaluation metrics like convergence curves and generalization testing to validate whether the optimized neural network achieves target performance levels.
