Summary: 
This paper presents a flexible learning algorithm for the binary neural network that can realize a desired Boolean function. The algorithm determines hidden layer parameters using a genetic algorithm. It can reduce the number of hidden neurons and can suppress parameters dispersion. These advantages are verified by basic numerical experiments.
