Mike, Thanks for explaining your experimental setup in more detail. I think I've got a better handle on it now. :) I still have a few questions though. ... So...
Derek, Cheers for the feedback, I'll start by answering your questions. ... Yes. I use -1.0 for invalid (for ex. no mouse sighted) and 0.0 to +1.0 for valid...
... <snip> ... Okay, gotcha. However, this set of inputs seems like it might be a little redundant. The cat is also receiving input on its absolute position...
... <snip> ... I think these inputs will be necessary for the situations when the cat has not seen the mouse yet and has no idea where to look. This could be...
Could you separate the problem code and make it available so that I or someone else might have a go at the same problem? Using your code is the only way to be...
Mitchell, When the project is wrapped up (first week in May) I will be making everything freely available: dissertation and source. Until then I'm just gonna...
Well, I was on a roll there for a bit but now I'm back to hitting my head on the brick wall (much like my cat). My initial goal was to evolve 5 behaviours: 1)...
I'm not sure how familiar people are with this domain. I picked up on it last year from a post on the Genetic Programming yahoo group, it's basically 6 inputs,...
... Ken, I am going to give this approach a shot now but have a couple of questions for you. 1) Would you suggest that I do the normal NEAT start with just...
Hi,
This sounds like an excellent result.

Hi Mike, ... population ... inputs ... Yes, that's right, that is reccurent and it's what I'm suggesting. My idea is this: If the task is so memory-dependant...

Depends a little bit on what you are aiming at: do you mean taking a taught course, doing a PhD or getting hired as a lecturer? Or do you mean the private...
Yes, it is possible. In fact we've done XOR runs before where the starting topology is completely disconnected (i.e., 0 connections) and it is able to find a...

EvSail-2.5 has been released. It's a free download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/annevolve. EvSail is a program that uses neuroevolution to obtain an...
Hi Rog, one thing I'd say is it that it certainly would help to have educational background in those areas. Since neural nets and gas are largely considered...
