Schrum wins CIG-11 Best Paper Award
9/8/2011
Jacob Schrum won the Best Paper Award at the 2011 IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games for his paper with Risto Miikkulainen on Evolving Multimodal Networks for Multitask Games. Multitask games are domains in which separate tasks within the domain each have their own dynamics and objectives. The methods described in the paper allow evolved neural networks to use multiple output modes to better learn multiple modes of behavior in multitask games. Videos of evolved behavior can be seen here.
