NEURAL NETWORKS

摘要

There are disclosed methods of constructing artificial neural networks in a three dimensional model space. Data transfer properties of neuron to neuron connections depend upon the point of intersection of a connection with a spatially extensive boundary surface of the connected neuron. Axon connections directly interconnect neurons, and dendritic connections are formed between neurons and passing axons according to a proximity measure. An evolutionary algorithm is used to evolve a population of parameter genomes from which phenotype neural networks are constructed.
