In this article, we propose a new scatter-search-based learning algorithm to train feed-forward neural networks. The algorithm also incorporates elements of tabu search. We describe the elements of the new approach and test the new learning algorithm on a series of classification problems. The test results demonstrate that the algorithm is significantly superior to several implementations of back-propagation.
