A Growing Neural Gas Network Learns Topologies

نویسنده

  • Bernd Fritzke
چکیده

An incremental network model is introduced which is able to learn the important topological relations in a given set of input vectors by means of a simple Hebb-like learning rule. In contrast to previous approaches like the "neural gas" method of Martinetz and Schulten (1991, 1994), this model has no parameters which change over time and is able to continue learning, adding units and connections, until a performance criterion has been met. Applications of the model include vector quantization, clustering, and interpolation.

Efficient Evolution of Neural Network Topologies

Neuroevolution, i.e. evolving artificial neural networks with genetic algorithms, has been highly effective in reinforcement learning tasks, particularly those with hidden state information. An important question in neuroevolution is how to gain an advantage from evolving neural network topologies along with weights. We present a method, NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT) that outpe...

Evolving Neural Network through Augmenting Topologies

An important question in neuroevolution is how to gain an advantage from evolving neural network topologies along with weights. We present a method, NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT), which outperforms the best fixed-topology method on a challenging benchmark reinforcement learning task. We claim that the increased efficiency is due to (1) employing a principled method of crossover...

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...
