Most supervised learning algorithms for Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)aim at minimizing the sum of the squared error of the training data [12, 11, 5, 10]. It is well known that learning algorithms that are based only on error minimization do not guarantee good generalization performance models. In addition to the training set error, some other network-related parameters should be adapted in the learning phase in order to control generalization performance. The need for more than a single objective function paves the way for treating the supervised learning problem with multi-objective optimization techniques. Although the learning problem is multi-objective by nature, only recently it has been given a formal multi-objective optimization treatment [16]. The problem has been treated from different points of view along the last two decades.
