Neuroevolution Scholarpedia Article Published
6/7/2013
Lehman and Miikkulainen recently authored an article on Neuroevolution in Scholarpedia, the peer-reviewed open-access encyclopedia. This article reviews more than two decades of research on evolution of neural networks, a technique that has proven to be a practical engineering methodology as well as a novel tool for exploring biological hypotheses. This article is the the latest step in our effort to educate people in this area, following several tutorials since 2005 at GECCO, IJCNN, WCCI, and Alife, and the development of OpenNERO software platform for AI education.
