Abstract
Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a fundamental tool in Deep Learning and Computer Vision due to its remarkable ability to extract relevant characteristics from raw data, which has been allowing significant advances in image classification tasks. One of the great challenges in using CNNs is to define an architecture that is suitable for the problem for which they are being designed. Thus, there is a big effort in many recent works to propose approaches to automatically define appropriate CNN architectures. Among them, the Convolutional Neural Network designed by Genetic Algorithm (CNN-GA) method stands out. As CNN-GA has only been validated in static scenarios involving image classification data sets, the main contributions of the present paper are the following: implementing an improved version of CNN-GA, named as Minimum CNN-GA (MCNN-GA), that automatically defines CNN architectures through a policy that minimizes the weigh vector dimensions and the classification error rate of the CNNs; implementing a set of imitation learning based agents that operate in a complex and dynamic scenario of FIFA game exploring distinct raw image representations for the environment at the input of CNNs designed according to the MCNN-GA approach. The performance of these agents were evaluated through their in-game score in tournaments against FIFA’s engine. The results corroborate that the decision-making ability of such agents can be as good as human ability.
