Abstract A fast evolutionary programming (FEP) is proposed to train multi-layer perceptrons (MLP) for noisy chaotic time series modeling and predictions. This FEP, which uses a Cauchy mutation operator that results in a significantly faster convergence to the optimal solution, can help MLP to escape from local minima. A comparison against back-propagation-trained networks was performed. Numerical experimental results show that the FEP can help MLP better capturing dynamics from noisy chaotic time series than the back-propagation algorithm and produce a more consistently modeling and prediction.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
