Hi, I've uploaded a zip file of my first results to the SLEAT folder in the file area. It is "TTT 1 Analysis.zip" and all you need to do is unzip it into a...
Hi Ian, looks like you did a pretty comprehensive analysis. I don't know what all the variables mean so I'll wait for you explanation, but one thing I noticed...
Hi, OK so I finally have to results to ponder. Let me tell you what I think in no particular order... ...and ask everyone for anything they can think of to...
Ian, it sounds like some results are inconclusive, but that may not be a bad things because it may imply that the algorithm is somewhat robust to parameter...
... This is true. I'm now going to vary the ones that do have an effect a bit further, to try and find a rough optimum. Just to improve the speed of further ...
... I may have to dig around in the archives and see if there's a more detailed explanation of this technique (did you post one before?). This certainly seems...
... Yup, look for something with "TTT PPS" in the title, I think. I think I even posted example code at one point... ... I don't care how far away in the...
Hi all I am a second year student at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, and am currently working under a summer undergraduate research program. My...
Sidhant, If I understand your question correctly, you're asking if structural mutations should be compared to previous generations' innovation numbers, as well...
We've just released Metavolv, which can search for good parameters for YOUR program. The attach HTML file, and diagram, is the documentation. Metavolv is open...
The attached text file describes the problem. As you might guess, I've been working on it. I have had moderate success. My best ANNs can produce 90% of the...
... This sounds like an interesting task and a useful area to explore. It makes sense that as the "path" gets longer the ANN performs less and less well. I'm...
... You are cetainly correct that in the biological case, a one-bit error ruins the return path, since it no longer takes the animal home. And also, as you...
Hello All, I stumbled onto NEAT a short time ago, and I think its an amazing piece of work - I'm not an expert on ANN's / Genetic Algorithms by any means, but...
Hi Mitchell, All, I've intended to look into tasks requiring memory for some time now, and it should be really easy to throw together soem code for SharpNEAT...
Hi Mike, ... Currently there is no setting to do this so you would have to modify the code. One way would be to add the fitness threshold as a property on ...
... No, I started out with this one. But it's prolly a good idea to try the simpler one first. I'm not sure why I skipped that step. In my latest version I...

First Off, thanks to everyone who replied to my questions, its good to see a newbie-friendly discussion group :) I have a lot of reading to do. In response to...
Hey everyone, I wanted to post a quick message about what I've been up to recently. As some of you know, I started as an assistant professor at UCF 6 months...

All, Just in case anyone might be interested, I have a paper on some of my work for a hardware accelerator for NEAT. It's available at the following url: ...
All, For those that remember, I originally got interested in NEAT in order to do image enlargement. The primary thing that has stood in the way of progress, ...
I just found out that the version that was up of my tech report on CPPNs had been checked by a buggy spellchecker that let through a lot of typos. I never...
I cannot see any files in the CVS folder on SourceForge for SharpNEAT. I know that the source is included in the package for SharpNEAT 1.04 but is there also...
I have noticed that my best fitness sometimes declines. While I can sort of understand this if I have enabled 'pruning', it also occurs even when I disable...
... Ok two points to start with: 1) SharpNEAT will always preserve the species with the best genome, even if it has reached the drop-off age. 2) Pruning isn't...
