An implementation of scatter search to train neural networks for brain lesion recognition

Jeffrey Larson and Francis Newman

Vol. 4 (2011), No. 3, 203–211
Abstract

In recent years, the use of computer aided diagnosis (CAD) has achieved acceptance in mammography and other areas. To facilitate automated detection of brain abnormalities, we propose a novel method for quickly training neural networks to classify brain images. Our method outperforms traditional neural network training methods by achieving a better balance between classification accuracy and training time.
