How do you work around the problem when the total number of children each species spawns is greater than the desired population size? Buckland's NEAT for

Hey Ken, thanks for the note. Yeah, I agree that the parallel extensions are a good alternative. I am definitely not more comfortable in declarative

Hi Jeff, F# tends to be declarative, which is fine if that paradigm is more comfortable for you. There are .NET Extensions for Parallel Processing if you

Hi, I've been quiet on this group for a long time although I've kept my subscription so I remember to play with NEAT once I have free time (presumably

It is normalized. In full, I'm testing to find the nearest object, then using (200-d)/200. Since d will range from very small numbers to 200, that gives me a

Mark, there is one detail in your setup that sounds potentially very problematic, although it is possible I am misunderstanding. You say that the sensor is

The food foraging experiment is the dangerous food foraging example from "Evolving Adaptive Neural Networks with and without Adaptive Synapses". The sensors

Hi Mark, I'm only a newbie, but I've hit similar issues when running some experiments. In my case, the it was a multi-threading issue. It highlighted to me

Mark, which food foraging experiment are you implementing? That is, from which paper? What are the sensors and outputs for your neural networks? I may be

I've been trying on and off the last couple months to get a couple control experiments running, and have been getting results that appear to have almost a

Hey Andrei, It's true that the HyperNEAT experiments are poorly documented and can be confusing. This is largely because the HyperNEAT algorithm itself has

Re: HyperNEAT Tutorial?

Ken — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:09:28 GMT

Yes I would advise starting out with NEAT to get familiar with it. However, we can also look into improving the understandability of the HyperNEAT C++

Buckland's NEAT for windows code uses the Adjusted Fitness to calculate Span Amount. Is this incorrect? In CSpecies::AdjustFitnesses(), for each member of a
