Stanley To appear in: Connection Science Special Issue on Music, Brain, and Cognition. Abington, UK: Taylor & Francis, 2009 (33 pages) Abstract The ability of gifted composers such as Mozart to create complex multipart musical compositions with relative ease suggests a highly efficient mechanism for generating multiple parts simultaneously. A Hypercube-Based Indirect Encoding for Evolving Large-Scale Neural Networks Kenneth O. To appear in: Artificial Life journal. Research in neuroevolution, i.e. evolving artificial neural networks (ANNs) through evolutionary algorithms, is inspired by the evolution of biological brains. Exploiting Open-Endedness to Solve Problems Through the Search for Novelty Joel Lehman and Kenneth O. Note: This paper is accompanied with version 1.0 of the Novelty Search C++ software found here.
Generative Encoding for Multiagent Learning David B. Jason Gauci and Kenneth O. Amy K. Stylized Depiction: Non-Photorealistic, Painterly and 'Toon Rendering. Stylized Depiction in Computer Graphics Non-Photorealistic, Painterly and 'Toon Rendering an annotated survey of online resources by Craig Reynolds While I have not done research in this area myself, I am fascinated by the computer graphic technique known as non-photorealistic rendering.
(Admittedly it is a little odd to name a field of study by what it is not. Stanislaw Ulam apparently once remarked: "The study of non-linear physics is like the study of non-elephant biology. ") My list of links on this topic began to outgrow its place on my bookmarks list, so I created this page to give them a home, and perhaps to help other people interested in the field. To better describe the kinds of techniques listed here, and to define the informal taxonomy used on this page, it is helpful to note that techniques for stylized depiction can be classified along the axis from interactive to fully automatic, and that there are three distinct types of input for these stylized depiction processes: NPAR: Non-photorealistic Animation and Rendering :: Main / HomePage.
