Neural networks using bots

<< < (6/7) > >>

Ulciscor:
I think I have an unhealthy obsession with neural nets but they're so damn cool! I have also had some cool ideas about them that could be put in DB. I was gonna put 'em in the suggestions bit but since this thread is here I'll use it if that's OK...

I was thinking it would be neat for every bot to have a really simple neural net built-in so to speak, one that hasn't been set to perform any particular task yet. A blank slate kind of thing. It would be good if there was a little training program that allowed you to train your neural net to do different things, like recognising family, food, how to hunt or defend etc. Although thinking about it this completely detracts from using DNA, which is what DB is all about...
Crap! There must be something neural nets can be used for!

Ulciscor:
Oo hang on sudden thought, the coding in DNA can sort of be equated to instinctive behavious as the bot has no option in acting on it or not, if criteria are met then an action is executed. Well instincts would still be useful in a situation where an immediate action is required, but a net would be capable of forming more complex actions from multiple inputs. DNA could still be used to pass information to and retrieve data from the net, and commands could be added to screw with another bot's net. Sexual reproduction could result in a bot with a combination of both parents networks, whereas asexual reproduction would lead to a bot with a mutated version of the parent net.

Lets see here, Neural Net

This is far from close but:

we got a bot doing random actions , thats a start.

A more complex system of random code , manipulating memory locations etc. can be used to create a "vertual neural nets"

Just bc its a nerual net we are still not working with malecules we are working with computer code. A nerual net in computers is just a fansy way of menipulating memory and/or doing random actions.

Ulciscor, based on my example try to write a more complex bot using somthing like a "nerual net".

Ulciscor:
I thought that neural nets were made of nodes all connected together? The nodes are equivalent to the neurons in a brain, the connections are the dendrites and axons.

Botsareus:
Select case maybe?

All you have to do is write a complex matrix of randomly generated numbers , mathematics and conditions all linked to actions.
