Otoro states he is using CNE Conventional Neural Evolution, but combining it with ideas about recurrence from the Atari paper. http://blog.otoro.net/2015/01/27/neuroevolution-algorithms/ http://blog.otoro.net/2015/01/27/neuroevolution-algorithms/ He outlines the evolution of his thinking and slime volleyball in this post which cites John Gomez's thesis as the inception of CNE. Certainly parallel ideas to Schmidhuber but the implementation details are somewhat different in the U of Texas Neuro-Evolution models.
