Abstract

The momentum parameter is common within numerous optimization and local search algorithms, particularly in the popular back propagation neural network learning algorithm. Computationally cheap and prevalent in gradient descent approaches, it is not currently utilized within neuroevolution. In this paper we present some of the results produced by a momentum enhanced neuroevolutionary algorithm. We demonstrate how this computationally inexpensive parameter in most of the cases results in enhancing the system's performance.
