> Or the weights could be evolved using Genetic Programming. Some algorithms, such as NEAT[0], use a genetic algorithm to describe not only the weights on edges in the network, but also the shape of the network itself - e.g., instead of every node of one layer connected to every node of the next, only certain connections are made. 0. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroevolution_of_augmenting_topologies http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroevolution_of_augmenting_to...
