Key Points

To develop an automated method using genetic algorithms that designs high-performing convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures for image classification without requiring manual domain expertise.
Designed a genetic algorithm framework to automatically generate and optimize CNN structures for targeted image classification tasks.
Evaluated performance on widely used benchmark image classification datasets against 20 peer models (eight manually designed CNNs, seven semi-automated architectures, and five fully automated CNN design algorithms).
The genetic algorithm outperformed existing automated CNN design methods across classification accuracy, total parameter counts, and consumed computational resources.
The method achieved classification accuracy competitive with the top-performing manually designed and semi-manually tuned networks while using substantially fewer computational resources.
