Can particle swarm optimization be used to train neural networks with more than one hidden layer?

I've been thinking about the idea of replacing the classic gradient descent algorithm with an algorithm that is less sensitive to a local optimum. I was thinking about particle swarm optimization (PSO), which thus tries to select the best weights…

Order of multiple Convolutional and Pooling layers in generated CNNs

I am reading this article: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2210650221000249 There, a multi layered particle swarm optimization of CNN parameters is presented. First step (layer) is to determine the architecture of the CNN and the…
