Constructing a classification model is important in machine learning for a particular task. A classification process involves assigning objects into predefined groups or classes based on a number of observed attributes related to those objects. Artificial neural network is one of the classification algorithms which, can be used in many application areas. This paper investigates the potential of applying the feed forward neural network architecture for the classification of medical datasets. Migration based differential evolution algorithm (MBDE) is chosen and applied to feed forward neural network to enhance the learning process and the network learning is validated in terms of convergence rate and classification accuracy. In this paper, MBDE algorithm with various migration policies is proposed for classification problems using medical diagnosis.
