Following up on a previous discussion on solving Tic-Tac-Toe, I wanted to open up to the group the question of the rule base for optimal play. I tried to find...
Determining if the rule set is optimal or not is doable, though perhaps time consuming. There are 10 possible starting conditions: rule player goes first, or...

A number of people like John have recently brought up letting NEAT decide for itself which inputs it should use. (As an example the below quote is from John) ...
Some of you may have read our previous Tech Report, "Competitive Coevolution through Evolutionary Complexification." That paper has now been replaced with a...
... Cool...thanks for the update, Ken. I'm interested to read this updated paper. I had a question about how you implemented your robot simulation. Did you do...
Hi Derek, I wrote my robot control code off of previously existing Khepera simulator software. So the core of the code is from that, although it's been much...
Hi Ken, If it's not to much trouble I'd like to ask you a few basic questions about specific implementation details in NEAT. Just to explain where I'm coming...

As I had posted earlier, NEAT does great in robot control domain. I had tried it out on a from scratch simulation, and had nice results (atleast for gathering,...

Hi Colin, absolutely feel free to ask questions. I think a C# implementation of NEAT would be great, and also I agree doing you own implementation will be...
Derek, good question and I definitely understand where you're coming from. The key point that is perhaps not clear is that the lines in the middle are *not*...
