    abstract = "Fuzzy logic, articial neural network models and evolutionary computing are the main methodolog- ical tools of the soft computing area. This article provides an overview on two of them, namely neu- ral networks and evolutionary models. The largest number of applications that combine these two is based on the idea that a genetic algorithm is used to optimize the functioning of a neural network. A more general focus is taken here and examples of other kinds of combinations are given. Further- more, special emphasis is given on the combination of genetic algorithms and Kohonen's self-organizing map (SOM). The usage of the SOM in analyzing and organizing the populations produced by a GA is considered in some more detail. Finally, some applications in the Web and information retrieval domain are presented.",
