I'm trying to optimise a process for an automated tool we created to classify documents. We've successfully put together a genetic algorithm which is currently evolving happily, but the last couple of simulations suggest it may now have reached a plateau. It was mentioned that a neural network may be the next best step, but I've never touched them before. Does anyone have any experience with ANNs? If anyone could point me in the direction of a '..for dummies' it'd be much appreciated.
