contents Most efforts in Computer Vision focus on natural images or artwork, which differ significantly both in size and contents from the kind of data biomedical image processing deals with. Thus, Transfer Learning models often prove themselves suboptimal for these tasks, even after manual finetuning. The development of architectures from scratch is oftentimes unfeasible due to the vastness of the hyperparameter space and a shortage of time, computational resources and Deep Learning experts in most biomedical research laboratories. An alternative to manually defining the models is the use of Neuroevolution, which employs metaheuristic techniques to optimize Deep Learning architectures. However, many algorithms proposed in the neuroevolutive literature are either too unreliable or limited to a small, predefined region of the hyperparameter space. To overcome these shortcomings, we propose the Chimera Algorithm, a novel, hybrid neuroevolutive algorithm that integrates the Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm with Evolutionary Computation tools to generate models from scratch, as well as to refine a given previous architecture to better fit the task at hand. The Chimera Algorithm has been validated with two datasets of natural and medical images, producing models that surpassed the performance of those coming from Transfer Learning.
