Abstract

This paper presents a kernel-based online neuroevolutionary of augmenting topology (KO-NEAT) algorithm, which borrowing the selection mechanisms used in temporal difference (TD) algorithms and combining the kernel function approximator for individual fitness initiation. KO-NEAT can improve evolution’s online performance of NEAT and learns more quickly. Empirical results in keepaway soccer problem demonstrate that KO-NEAT can substantially improve the original algorithm.
