java.lang.Object

org.encog.neural.neat.training.NEATBaseGene

org.encog.neural.neat.training.NEATLinkGene

All Implemented Interfaces:

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

public class NEATLinkGene
extends NEATBaseGene
implements java.io.Serializable

Implements a NEAT link gene. This describes a way in which two neurons are linked. 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.
