org.encog.neural.hyperneat.substrate.SubstrateFactory

public class SubstrateFactory
extends Object

Produce substrates for various topologies. Currently provides the sandwich topology. You can create any topology you wish, this is simply a convienance method. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.cs.ucf.edu/~kstanley/ Encog's NEAT implementation was drawn from the following three Journal Articles.

Method Detail

factorSandwichSubstrate

public static Substrate factorSandwichSubstrate(int inputEdgeSize,
                                int outputEdgeSize)

Create a sandwich substrate. A sandwich has an input layer connected directly to an output layer, both are square.

Parameters:

inputEdgeSize - The input edge size.

outputEdgeSize - The output edge size.

Returns:

The substrate.
