Hi, ... Ok. I'm still not 100% sure how specifically you're combining DoE with NEAT. Potentially I'm misundertanding you at a fundamerntal level and the penny...
Hi Derek, I had forgotten that they recorded that debate. I enjoyed having the opportunity to ask my question to such illustrious scientists, but like you, I...
Update: I asked Peter Bentley if it would be all right to upload the video to Google Video, and he said yes, as long as I linked back to his site and didn't...
Ken Lloyd, Are you proposing that DOE be used to: a) pre-NEAT DOE to identify significant variables to be introduced to NEAT as inputs (a subset of possible...
Is there any significance to the composition of generation zero beyond that of providing a radomized evaluation/starting point of the design space? If the...
Well, after I saw the video.. I don't know these people, they should be very good scientists, but.. Their answers.. Sucked! Sorry about that language, but.. At...
Derek, thanks very much for putting the video on Google video. I was having trouble with the torrent myself when I was trying to refresh my memory of their...
Yes, the answers were indeed lacking. By the way, notice also how they ignored the second part of my question: "How can evolution search a space of such...
These people must have email addresses, why not follow up with them that way? If they care about the question at all, I'm sure they'll give a more thoughtful...
... I think this question was at least partially addressed. Dawkins seems to suggest that the genome specifies mechanisms for building the structure of the...
Cherry-picking the most-fit solutions from a random set of initial solutions seems equivalent to bootstrapping NEAT with random search. Random search is...
Cherry-picking a single best population, one of many. NOT creating a population composed of best individuals from multiple populations. Though that could be a...
Ah, I misinterpreted. In that case, I would guess your sampling bias is up to the gods as much as it is for any random population. ... -- Daniel Tuohy...

First off, I apologize if this is a double post. It appears that my previous message did not go through or I may have sent it to the wrong address. If...
The distribution of the initial generations indeed can affect the course of evolution. However, it is difficult to make informed a priori decisions about the...
I should clarify that I did not expect to get a definitive answer from anyone when I asked the question. As Dr. Jones stated up front, no one knows the full...
Kirk, I've been having similar problems where a message I post never shows up. I think yahoo is having issues. I suggest that anyone who posts through online...
I think that Ken's original question of 30,000 genes directing a trillion connection brain is incomplete. While there are on the order of 30,000 genes,...
This is a resend of my original reply. The original didn't seem to make it through. I didn't mean to confuse everyone. Here are my general thoughts: Design of...
I didn't mean to confuse everyone. Here are my general thoughts: Design of Experiments has proven to be valuable in solving linear problems of substantial...
Bah, for some reason Yahoo Groups' spam filter is being more aggressive recently, and it's putting an increasing number of messages in a moderator-controlled...
Okay, after browsing through the moderator help pages, I found out how to disable the spam filter for our group, so I've done that. Let me know if there are...
... Excellent!! I have successfully answered a question better than Dawkins!! WOO HOO!! 8^) I think that your description of biologist-centric responses ...
Ken, With all due respect, ... evaluate ... end ... I disagree. For standard NEAT params, test cases (the results summary of which has been included in prior...
... Just on this point - I would say that the ability of CPPN's to generate repeated structures and elaboratations on those repeated structures means that...
... I noticed recently that when replying within googlemail the default editor is a HTML editor which maintains all of the yahoo adverts that get attacehd to...
... [...] ... I'd agree with that. It seemed like they thought they were addressing the general public - the way they were explaining some fairly basic ...
I'm not up on CPPN theory, but the inherent modularity is excellent news. As you mentioned, the lack of an need to design modularity but to allow it to emerge...
Andy, note I only said that there is no "obvious advantage." That is not a dismissal, that's just saying that it's not clear whether it would buy an advantage...
