Journal ArticleDOI
Evolving neural networks through augmenting topologies
TL;DR: Neural Evolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT) as mentioned in this paper employs a principled method of crossover of different topologies, protecting structural innovation using speciation, and incrementally growing from minimal structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abandoning objectives: Evolution through the search for novelty alone
Joel Lehman,Kenneth O. Stanley +1 more
TL;DR: In the maze navigation and biped walking tasks in this paper, novelty search significantly outperforms objective-based search, suggesting the strange conclusion that some problems are best solved by methods that ignore the objective.
Journal ArticleDOI
A hypercube-based encoding for evolving large-scale neural networks
TL;DR: The main conclusion is that the ability to explore the space of regular connectivity patterns opens up a new class of complex high-dimensional tasks to neuroevolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compositional pattern producing networks: A novel abstraction of development
TL;DR: Results produced with CPPNs through interactive evolution of two-dimensional images show that such an encoding can nevertheless produce structural motifs often attributed to more conventional developmental abstractions, suggesting that local interaction may not be essential to the desirable properties of natural encoding in the way that is usually assumed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Search-Based Procedural Content Generation: A Taxonomy and Survey
TL;DR: This article contains a survey of all published papers known to the authors in which game content is generated through search or optimisation, and ends with an overview of important open research problems.
