A recent and very promising approach for combinatorial optimization is to embed local search into the framework of evolutionary algorithms. In this paper, we present one efficient hybrid algorithms for the graph coloring problem. Here we have considered the hybridization of Boltzmann Machine (BM) of Artificial Neural Network with Genetic Algorithms. Genetic algorithm we have used to generate different coloration of a graph quickly on which we have applied boltzmann machine approach. Unlike traditional approaches of GA and ANN the proposed hybrid algorithm is guranteed to have 100% convergence rate to valid solution with no parameter tuning. Experiments of such a hybrid algorithm are carried out on large DIMACS Challenge benchmark graphs. Results prove very competitive. Analysis of the behavior of the algorithm sheds light on ways to further improvement.
