Epigenetic evolution of deep convolutional models

Alexander Hadjiivanov, Alan Blair

In this study, we build upon a previously proposed neuroevolution framework to evolve deep convolutional models. Specifically, the genome encoding and the crossover operator are ex…

Eccentric Regularization: Minimizing Hyperspherical Energy without explicit projection

Xuefeng Li, Alan Blair

Several regularization methods have recently been introduced which force the latent activations of an autoencoder or deep neural network to conform to either a Gaussian or hypersph…

Complexity-based speciation and genotype representation for neuroevolution

Alexander Hadjiivanov, Alan Blair

This paper introduces a speciation principle for neuroevolution where evolving networks are grouped into species based on the number of hidden neurons, which is indicative of the c…
