Yes Ken. That's also what my question was referring, what advantage does it have. I can see AGE producing complex patterns via a intricate interaction map (or...
Hi Kirk, Interesting that so many people are getting into PacMan as a testbed. Understandable maybe, as the game is easy to implement and fast to evaluate. ...
Thank you for the links, Julian. I haven't had time to look at them in depth, but they all look very interesting. PacMan has definitely been a topic of...
Yes, you make a good point. If you strip down the whole idea of an "interaction map," all you really have left is a function that takes two nodes as input and...
I've just updated the PacMan code again based on some additional feedback. Here's the detail: v0.1.3 Updates ... Windows now update during the evolution step...
Hello- I just read the AGE paper, thanks for posting it JT. Ken, I think you raise excellent issues in your analysis of their work. I agree that they do not do...
Jeff, I am skeptical that the genetic operators are really that novel compared to any other indirect encoding. Note that the meaning of things like "gene...
I downloaded the new version and it works a lot better for me. Nice work, I enjoyed playing with it. However, I don't see ghosts. Are there supposed to be...
Ken, Excellent! I really appreciate your feedback (now and previously) - it has helped me improve the "user experience" of my little PacMan demo. Regarding...
According to google this book/chapter also has references to NEAT in it. Possibly another interesting/relevant read: Part 1: Chapter 1: Evolutionary Visual Art...
There doesn't seem to be much on the internet about it, though I did find a link to the guy's email address and sent him a mail asking for a copy of the paper....
Hi Colin, I know a lot about the NEON system since I was the external examiner on Benjamin Inden's dissertation (which was on NEON). I am not sure though...
That looks potentially interesting. I have a feeling I may have seen a part of that chapter somewhere... maybe it was on the internet as a draft or something?...
Since Colin raised the topic of evolutionary art and music, I thought I might point out NEAT Drummer for those who haven't already read about it. We've been...
When I graph fitness versus generations, I see large areas where the system is making very little progress. While there can be some small changes in the...
Hi, I am the author of the paper of NEON and another one, which may be clearer: Neuroevolution and Complexifying Genetic Architectures for Memory and Control...
Dear all, The human brain has different areas that solve different kind of problems. My question is if you think it is a good idea to try encouraging a network...
I'm trying to reproduce the double pole balancing experiment (following Stanley's code), but something is not clear to me. According to Wieland's equations, we...
Hi Christofer, Given the fact that the nodes have a position in 3D space, it is easy to run a HyperNEAT evolution in a 3D substrate. You can provide a bias...
Hi Cesar, ... Many double cart-pole (and cart-pole) simulations (including mine neglect this term. I don't know the real reasons but I can suggest some: -...
I just received an e-mail about a new journal from Springer. I thought this group would be interested. The premier issue appears to have free access to...
Please find attached the following weblink: http://www.casde.iitb.ac.in/MDO/specific-studies/Wing-opt-modified-1- 05.ppt to a PowerPoint file containing an MDO...
Andy, can you elaborate on what you mean by "maintaining a history?" What is it a history of? ken ... 1- ... Optimization) ... MDO ... 92). ... reduced ... ...
In short, keeping track of where you have already evaluated in the design space, such that a subsequent evaluation request for the same point in the design...
Christofer, I think the modular approach is not always the best or correct approach. In the case of 3-coupled (or more), non-linear, undirected systems, ...
Christofer, it's an interesting idea but I think it may be difficult to implement in practice because of the nonlinear relationship among different components...
Another approach is to expand the definition of a node to include more than one unique input and output, and re-introduce a trained genome as a node. And let...
The pole balancing code did not originate with me; I copied it from the prior-existing ESP source code for the experiment. I believe the ESP version may in...
