چکیده

This paper describes a novel way of complexifying artificial neural networks through topological reorganization. The neural networks are reorganized to optimize their neural complexity, which is a measure of the information-theoretic complexity of the network. Complexification of neural networks here happens through rearranging connections, i.e. removing one or more connections and placing them elsewhere. The results verify, that a structural reorganization can help to increase the probability of discovering a neural network capable of adequately solving complex tasks. The networks and the methodology proposed are tested in a simulation of a mobile robot racing around a track.

Robot Soccer With GNG & NEAT

Complexification is an essential concept in evolutionary robotics that develops dynamic neural networks over generations with the aim of increasing their capabilities. Artificial networks networks are complexified by altering, adding and removing nodes and connections from the neural network structure. The dimensionality of the input layer in a neural network also plays a significant role in th...
