Class NEATLink

java.lang.Object

org.encog.neural.neat.NEATLink

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<NEATLink>

public class NEATLink
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<NEATLink>

Implements a link between two NEAT neurons. 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/ Encog's NEAT implementation was drawn from the following three Journal Articles.
