Training neural networks by using conventional supervised backpropagation algorithms is a challenging task. This is due to significant limitations, such as the risk for local minimum stagnation in the loss landscape of neural networks. That may prevent the network from finding the global minimum of its loss function and therefore slow its convergence speed. Another challenge is the vanishing and exploding gradients that may happen when the gradients of the loss function of the model become either infinitesimally small or unmanageably large during the training. That also hinders the convergence of the neural models. On the other hand, the traditional gradient-based algorithms necessitate the pre-selection of learning parameters such as the learning rates, activation function, batch size, stopping criteria, and others. Recent research has shown the potential of evolutionary optimization algorithms to address most of those challenges in optimizing the overall performance of neural networks. In this research, we introduce and validate an evolutionary optimization framework to train multilayer perceptrons, which are simple feedforward neural networks. The suggested framework uses the recently proposed evolutionary cooperative optimization algorithm, namely, the dynamic group-based cooperative optimizer. The ability of this optimizer to solve a wide range of real optimization problems motivated our research group to benchmark its performance in training multilayer perceptron models. We validated the proposed optimization framework on a set of five datasets for engineering applications, and we compared its performance against the conventional backpropagation algorithm and other commonly used evolutionary optimization algorithms. The simulations showed the competitive performance of the proposed framework for most examined datasets in terms of overall performance and convergence. For three benchmarking datasets, the proposed framework provided increases of 2.7%, 4.83%, and

Quantum resources such as entanglement and coherence are the holy grail for modern quantum technologies. Although the unwanted environmental effects tackle quantum information processing tasks, suprisingly these key quantum resources may be protected and even enhanced by the implementation of some special hybrid open quantum systems. Here, we aim to show how a dissipative atom-cavity-system can be accomplished to generate enhanced quantum *** do so, we consider a couple of dissipative cavities, where each one contains two effective two-level atoms interacting with a single-mode cavity field. In practical applications, a classical laser field may be applied to drive each atomic subsystem. After driving the system, a Bell-state measurement is performed on the output of the system to quantify the entanglement and coherence. The obtained results reveal that the remote entanglement and coherence between the atoms existing inside the two distant cavities are not only enhanced, but can be stabilized, even under the action of dissipation. In contrast, the local entanglement between two atoms inside each dissipative cavity attenuates due to the presence of unwanted environmental ***, the local coherence may show the same behavior as the remote ***, the system provides the steady state entanglement in various interaction regimes,particularly in the strong atom-cavity coupling and with relatively large detuning. More interestingly, our numerical analyses demonstrate that the system may show a memory effect due to the fact that the death and revival of the entanglement take place during the interaction. Our proposed model may find potential applications for the implementation of long distance quantum networks. In particular, it facilitates the distribution of quantum resources between the nodes of large-scale quantum networks for secure communication.
