Optimization of neural network topology, weights and neuron activation functions for given data set and problem is not an easy task. In this article, a technique for automatic configuration of parameters topology for feedforward artificial neural networks (ANN) is presented. The determination of optimal parameters is formulated as an optimization problem, solved with the use of meta-heuristic Multiple Particle Collision Algorithm (MPCA). The self-configuring networks are applied to predict the mesoscale climate for the precipitation field. The results obtained from the neural network using the method of data reduction by the Theory of Rough Sets and the self-configuring network by MPCA were compared.
