Having done all of the necessary setup steps, we are ready to start the experiment.
In the visual discrimination experiment, we use the following configuration of the visual field:
|
Parameter |
Value |
|
Size of the visual field |
11 x 11 |
|
Positions of the small objects in the visual field along each axis |
[1, 3, 5, 7, 9] |
|
Size of the small object |
1 x 1 |
|
Size of the big object |
3 x 3 |
|
Offset of the center of the big object from the small object |
5 |
Next, we need to select the appropriate values of the HyperNEAT hyperparameters, allowing us to find a successful solution to the visual discrimination problem.
Note that the hyperparameter that we describe next determines how to evolve the connective CPPN using the neuroevolution process. The discriminator ANN is created by applying the connective CPPN to the substrate.
