	  abstract     = {We present a hybrid architecture of recurrent neural
networks (RNNs) inspired by hidden Markov models (HMMs). We
train the hybrid architecture using genetic algorithms to learn and
represent dynamical systems. We train the hybrid architecture on a
set of deterministic finite-state automata strings and observe the
generalization performance of the hybrid architecture when presented
with a new set of strings which were not present in the training data
set. In this way, we show that the hybrid system of HMM and RNN
can learn and represent deterministic finite-state automata. We ran
experiments with different sets of population sizes in the genetic
algorithm; we also ran experiments to find out which weight
initializations were best for training the hybrid architecture. The
results show that the hybrid architecture of recurrent neural networks
inspired by hidden Markov models can train and represent dynamical
systems. The best training and generalization performance is
achieved when the hybrid architecture is initialized with random real
weight values of range -15 to 15.},
