Just a little intro about myself. I'm working on commercial spam filtering software which utilizes neural networks along with statistical methods. The neural...
Hi! That's an interesting read, but their ratio of false positives seems extremely high. But if it's used as one indicator among many, I guess that's...
Hi to the board. My name's Chris Turner. I'm a software developer in England and I'm interested in experimenting with Neural Networks and how they can be used...
... I managed to solve the problem. I made the assumption that as the output signal is between 0 and 1, that the input signals should also be beween 0 and 1....
Hi Just a quick intro to myself. I have been 'playing' around with NN's and GA for a few years now and came accross NEAT through Mat Buckland's excellent...
Hi, I have a couple of questions that I'd like to put to the group. I suppose these questions may have been asked before but I've spend sometime searching...
Yes, that's why I'm going to try NN along with statistical filter. The result will be summarized according to weights for each method. Regards, Alex...

Hi Matt, fitness sharing is meant to penalize a species the larger it gets. Of course, species only tend to get very large if they have high fitness, which is...
Chris, How many generations have you run your experiment? Sometimes it can take a while to build up the necessary structure to jump from "almost perfect" to...
... Hi Chris, As you probably noticed most of the SharpNEAT experiments scale inputs to the 0..1 range as you did, although I generally consider this to be not...
... Philip got it. There is always one bias input node + however many you define for your experiment, and it is always the first node. ... Can you explain the...

I got this working over the weekend, results so far are not brilliant, but interesting. Keep in mind that I'm still evaluating against a dominance chain which ...
Thanks to everyone for the replies. I've only been playing around with NEAT for a couple of days and I've staill got a lot to learn. I've picked up a few idea...
Hi Ken Thanks for that. The fog is now beginning to lift. Yes I do intend on making my version of NEAT available. It is part of a much larger AI library so I...

Oh, and importantly for anybody working on this, I can give you the code that produced it. It's C++ but shouldn't be too hard to convert to whatever. And...
... We found that the traditional "perfect player" basically just plays defensively and makes 3-in-a-row when he stumbles across it. But, he doesn't fully...

Hi Matt, sure if you get together a complete version with documentation of some sort (doesn't have to be fancy) I will put it up on my site. Of course, there...
... Well no, that's not true, as you seemed to point out in the previous part of this post. If you're goal is to win, whether you're playing a single game or...
