Operators for searching the space of network topologies
Left: A minimal network topology, with input and outputs only partially connected.
Middle: Networks are altered in one of three ways:
(1) Insert Node: a new node is inserted by splitting an existing connection.
(2) Add Connection: a new connection is added by connecting two previously unconnected nodes.
(3) Change Activation: the activation function of a hidden node is reassigned.
Right: Possible activation functions (linear, step, sin, cosine, Gaussian, tanh, sigmoid, inverse, absolute value, ReLU) |
