Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms are two kind of famous Computational Intelligence Models. They have shown their ability in many research domains. In this thesis, we combine these two technologies to solve pattern recognition problems. In biology, bacteria can change their expression of genes in order to save energy. Based on this observation, we combine a new approach called conditional genes with genetic algorithmsto achieve neural network structure self-organization. We applythis method to solve numerals recognition. Kohonen's Self-Organizing Feature Maps can adapt the output node topologically. We take advantages of this characteristic to adapt the structure of neural networks dynamically and a newrecognizing method is developed. After combining with conditional genes, neural networks can successfully recognize hand-written numerals.
