Abstract
This paper gives an overview of how visualization techniques can help us to improve an evolutionary algorithm that trains artificial neural networks. Kohonen’s self-organizing maps (SOM) are used for multidimensional scaling and projection of high dimensional search spaces. The SOM visualization technique used here makes visualization of the evolution process easy and intuitive.
