Overview
A comprehensive, cutting-edge introduction to neuroevolution that equips AI professionals and advanced students to harness evolutionary creativity for innovative AI solutions.
Neuroevolution—the fusion of neural networks with evolutionary algorithms—is a powerful approach to AI model design. Providing a comprehensive, cutting-edge introduction to the field, this textbook methodically moves from fundamental principles to state-of-the-art techniques, highlighting how evolutionary processes can creatively design neural network architectures and behaviors beyond what conventional methods achieve.
The book starts with core concepts of evolutionary computation and basic neuroevolution examples, followed by key design considerations like genetic encodings and the critical role of diversity. It then covers evolving intelligent agents, from low-level control through intelligent behavior to high-level multi-agent decision-making strategies. Next, it discusses integrating neuroevolution with other modern AI methods such as large language models and reinforcement learning. Finally, it offers insights into biological evolution, examining evolved neural structures, developmental processes, coevolution of bodies and brains, and the evolution of behaviors and language. Written by pioneers of the field, this timely book shows how the creativity of evolution can be harnessed in AI, automating the discovery of novel neural network solutions that improve adaptability and performance in complex, uncertain environments.
