Method Details

populationMutationProbability

@Parameter
public abstract double populationMutationProbability()

allowOutputNodeAsSource

@Default
public boolean allowOutputNodeAsSource()

Indicates whether output nodes may be selected as the source of new connections.

Enabling this option allows recurrent topologies such as output-to-hidden and output-to-output connections. Such topologies are intended for evaluation with a recurrent network.

Returns:

true when output nodes may be connection sources

check

@Check
protected void check()

builder

public static AddConnection.Builder builder()

of

public static AddConnection of(double populationMutationProbability)

Construct a new immutable AddConnection instance using feed-forward-compatible defaults.

Parameters:

populationMutationProbability - The value for the populationMutationProbability attribute

Returns:

An immutable AddConnection instance
