Abstract excerpt
In this paper we introduce and apply the concept of local evolvability to investigate the behaviour of populations during evolutionary search. We focus on the evolution of GasNet neural network controllers for a robotic visual discrimination problem, showing that the evolutionary process undergoes long neutral fitness epochs. We show that the local evolvability properties of the search space surrounding a group...
