Optimal technique search method and system that creates a virtual cell division space to create/form a neural network

Abstract

Disclosed are an optimal technique search method and system that can enable a more effective search for optimal techniques for problem solutions than in the past through the use of a neural network employing genetic algorithm. Provided therein are an execution unit () that uses a neural network employing a genetic algorithm to search for an optimal technique and which executes operations using said technique, and an evaluation unit () that, along with creating initial setting to transmit to said execution unit, evaluates the content of the operations of the execution unit after the operations have been executed and has the execution unit () execute operations a plurality of times, and thereby derives as the optimal technique the initial settings that executed the most effective operation when transmitted to the execution unit () out of the results derived from said plurality of operation executions. As a result, a small scale and effective optimal technique search becomes possible when using a neural network, as described in [0024] and [0025].
