In this paper, we propose a new architecture of Genetic Algorithms(GAs)-based Backpropagation(BP). The conventional BP does not guarantee that the BP generated through learning has the optimal network architecture. But the proposed GA-based BP enable the architecture to be a structurally more optimized network, and to be much more flexible and preferable neural network than the conventional BP. The experimental results in BP neural network optimization show that this algorithm can effectively avoid BP network converging to local optimum. It is found by comparison that the improved genetic algorithm can almost avoid the trap of local optimum and effectively improve the convergent speed.
