Detailed Documentation

Intelligent Optimization Algorithm: Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is implemented in neural network optimization programs to enhance performance. The program offers three architectural configurations: no hidden layer, one hidden layer, and two hidden layers, allowing users to select the appropriate version based on requirements. Key implementation features include particle position updates representing neural network weights, global/local best tracking for convergence, and mean squared error minimization as the fitness function.
