Stanley and Miikkulainen: NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies

Contribution grade

Neural and deep learning · ALGORITHM

Reference score125,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Combined historical innovation markings, speciation and incremental topology growth with weight evolution in NEAT.

Scientific scope

The record is the exact two-author 2002 Evolutionary Computation article. Its benchmark evidence is not universal superiority, and later HyperNEAT, novelty search and other neuroevolution systems remain separate.
