Status (2009-11-18)

The core of SharpNEAT 2 is now written, working and partially tested and debugged; the code is at an 'alpha' stage of release and provides the following:

• Rudimentary GUI for visualizing best genome and some speciation stats. Unlike the core code, the GUI is temporary code provided as a harness for the core code
  
• XOR domain for testing.
• Speciation is performed by k-means clustering. To my knowledge this is the first NEAT implementation to use this approach and as such this code is experimental. The working XOR experiment is a first step in demonstrating the viability and effectiveness of k-means speciation.
• Generic framework classes with high level of abstraction and therefore flexibility and reusability in both NEAT and non-NEAT projects.

Known Problems

• None currently.
  

To Do

High Priority

• IO for Genomes, Networks, Populations, etc.
• Phased Searching (Compexifying-Simplifying). New flexibly defined phase change criteria. E.g. Hard complexity limits.
• Old species culling.
  
• HyperNEAT
• Feedforward-only neural network support.
  
• GUI
• Multi-Threaded Evaluator SimpleGenomeListEvaulator (Possibly using Parallel.ForEach in .Net 4.0; or not.)

Other

• Periodic innovation ID defragmentation.
• Distributed NEAT. Island model.
• Generate framework documentation (ndoc, sandcastle, etc.)
• Mono.Simd
