Improved Multilayer Perceptron Neural Networks Weights and Biases Based on The Grasshopper optimization Algorithm to Predict Student Performance on Ambient Learning

Abstract

The classification accuracy of a multi-layer Perceptron Neural Networks depends on the selection of its parameters such the connection weights and biases. Generating an optimal value of these parameters requires a suitable algorithm to train the multilayer perceptron neural networks. This paper presents swam based Grasshopper optimization algorithm that optimizes the connection weights and biases of Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network. Grasshopper optimization algorithm is a swarm-based metaheuristic algorithm applied for accurate learning of Multilayer Perceptron Neural Networks. The proposed Multilayer Layer Perceptron Neural Networks based on the Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm was validated using a Genetic algorithm and Backpropagation algorithm this algorithm has proved to perform satisfactorily performance by escaping local optimal and its fast convergence.
