IEEE - Computational Intelligence Society Chapter

III Jornada de Inteligencia Computacional

Tutorial: “Evolving Neural Networks”

Dirigido a: Estudiantes de pregrado y posgrado interesados en conocer los avances que se están generando relacionados con inteligencia computacional.

Abstract: Neuroevolution, i.e. evolution of artificial neural networks, has recently emerged as a powerful technique for solving challenging reinforcement learning problems. Compared to traditional (e.g. value-function based) methods, neuroevolution is especially strong in domains where the state of the world is not fully known: The state can be disambiguated through recurrency, and novel situations handled through pattern matching. In this talk, I will review (1) neuroevolution methods that evolve fixed-topology networks, network topologies, and network construction processes, (2) ways of combining traditional neural network learning algorithms with evolutionary methods, and (3) applications of neuroevolution to control, robotics, artificial life, and games.

Distinguished Lecturer: Researcher with interests on biologically-inspired computation such as neural networks and genetic algorithms. On the one hand, the goal is to understand biological information processing, and on the other, to develop more intelligent artificial systems that learn and adapt by observing and interacting with the environment. The three main focus areas are: (1) Cognitive Science, i.e. models of natural language processing, concept learning, and schema-based vision; (2) Computational Neuroscience, i.e. episodic memory and development, plasticity, and function of the visual cortex; (3) Neuroevolution, i.e. evolving neural networks with genetic algorithms for sequential decision tasks such as robotics, games, and artificial life.
