The XOR experiment we will discuss in this chapter uses the NEAT-Python library as a framework. The NEAT-Python library defines a set of hyperparameters that are used to control the execution and performance of the NEAT algorithm. The configuration file is stored in a format similar to Windows .INI files; each section starts with a name in square brackets ([section]), followed by key-value pairs that are delimited by an equals sign (=).
In this section, we will discuss some hyperparameters of the NEAT-Python library that can be found in each section of the configuration file.
A full list of the hyperparameters in the NEAT-Python library can be found at https://neat-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config_file.html.
