Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a technique for finding approximate solutions to difficult or impossible numeric optimization problems. In particular, PSO can be used to train a neural network.

Although mathematically elegant, back-propagation isn't perfect. Instead consider using particle swarm optimization (PSO) to train your neural network; here's how. You can think of a neural network as ...
