Excuse me while I ramble. I think what you are attempting to evolve is marketability not art. True art has no mass. The physical embodiment does. Many people...
Hi Neat-users, I'm starting to evaluate NEAT for simple robotics problems and I need your advices to be sure to use the correct starting networks and ...
John, I see where you're going. I agree that this kind of guided process will get us closer to the ideal filter. Of course, the question is how close. Yet...
The problem is that it's easy to get "crazy" just by outputting a bunch of random numbers; yet that is not what artists generally seem to be doing. I think...

In addition to emotional content, I believe it's also an attempt to explore complex issues that only a human brain (at this point in time) could have explored....
Hi, Thank you for your quick reply. I first have a very simple question : Does NEAT save somewhere the best organism ever encountered ? Is there any form of...
I can answer to your first question. There is elitism in the version of NEAT you mention. Check out the species::reproduce() method. There is a comparison of...
Hi Peter, ... We have incorporated the population of NEAT in our framework (so we may have made some mistakes) but I observe that the fitness of the best...

No. What I'm saying is that learned emotion might not be the other end of the coin from cognitive abilities, but rather like a 'ghost in the machine' result of...

John, how instrumental in your view of emotion is the idea that it is a "wave" as opposed to some other conduit of information? What is about waves and wave...

It's been just a few months since I've started studying NEAT and I'm sorry if my question is very basic or has already been asked a lot of times before (I've...
My company is in the process of developing a NEAT accelerator. This would be a combination of hardware and software that accelerates the process of evolving a...
Hi Shane, all, I think for many of us your email raises quite a few questions! Firstly the web page at the domain you gave states "Analysis for the financial...

Hi Carolina, Basically you can either keep the list of innovation numbers for the current generation only or keep it forever. Try to experiment with each and...
Hi Petar, I'm the guy Carolina mentioned as a friend on her message. We're aware of NEAT's FAQ and some old topics on that matter. But basically our point is...
Shane, Naturally I'm very interested in what a NEAT accelerator actually does. My research group certainly does a lot of work with NEAT so we would actually...
