Iaroslav Omelianenko

Iaroslav Omelianenko occupied the position of CTO and research director for more than a decade. He is an active member of the research community and has published several research papers at arXiv, ResearchGate, Preprints, and more. He started working with applied machine learning by developing autonomous agents for mobile games more than a decade ago. For the last 5 years, he has actively participated in research related to applying deep machine learning methods for authentication, personal traits recognition, cooperative robotics, synthetic intelligence, and more. He is an active software developer and creates open source neuroevolution algorithm implementations in the Go language.

Modified maze experiment

We have already discussed in this book how to apply either the objective-based search optimization or Novelty Search optimization methods to the problem of solving a maze. In this chapter, we introduce a modified maze-solving experiment in which we try to combine both search optimization methods using the SAFE algorithm.

We introduce the co-evolution of two populations: a population of maze-solving agents and a population of objective function candidates. Following the SAFE method, we use a commensalistic co-evolution strategy in our experiment. Let's first discuss the maze-solving agent.

The maze-solving agent

The maze-solving agent is equipped with a set of sensors, allowing it to perceive the...
