public class NEATGenome
extends BasicGenome
implements Cloneable, Serializable

Implements a NEAT genome. This is a "blueprint" for creating a neural network. NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT) is a genetic algorithm for the generation of evolving artificial neural networks. It was developed by Ken Stanley while at The University of Texas at Austin. http://www.cs.ucf.edu/~kstanley/
