Resum:
This paper presents a new feature selection method and an outliers detection algorithm The presented method is based on using a genetic algorithm combined with a problem specific designed neural network The dimensional reduction and the outliers detection makes the resulting dataset more suitable for training neural networks A comparative analysis between different kind of proposed criteria to select the features is reported A number of experimental results have been carried out to demonstrate the usefulness of the presented technique
