Presentation Transcript

  1. Introduction to CAP6938Neuroevolution and Developmental Encoding Dr. Kenneth Stanley August 21, 2006

  2. What Is this Class About? • The automated search for complexity • Complexification: How simple systems increase in complexity • Developmental Encoding: How complex systems can be represented efficiently • Focus on neural networks, but not exclusively • A path to solving AI

  3. How Does this Relate to AI? • Human-level intelligence requires astronomical complexity • 100 trillion connections in the human brain • Researchers are looking for the right parts and how to combine them • We can do it by analysis or through search • This class is about automating the search through evolution

  4. Location within Science Neuroevolution: Evolving Neural Networks Biology AI EC Neuroscience NNs Developmental Encoding Consciousness?

  5. Some Prior Class Projects • Guitar Distortion Effect Inducer • Alife World • Optimal Distributed Sensor Placement • Riot Simulation • Interactive Particle Effect Evolution • Interactive Drum Rhythm Evolution • Chord Progression Evolution • Space Video Game • Simulated 2D Robot Body Evolution (Sodarace)

  6. Projects May Be Significant • Two invention disclosures • Several continued Ph.D. research topics
