Again something fun but totally useless.

A very, very, very basic Neural Network

Is it a neural network? Yes. Does it work? No. But it produces valid results? If you generate random patterns often enough, one of them is bound to be valid.

I'm fairly new to artificial intelligence, so I'm probably off on quite a few things. For starters, there's no real genetic algorithm to speak of. Mutations are far too coarse. The score is calculated badly. Mutation rate is much too high. The network is wired randomly without any real plan. And that's just the stuff I know about from the top of my head; they're all major parts of a real NN.

I was just curious to see how well S|M could visualize functioning NN's,

that is pretty nice to get a basic understanding on how such a brute force intelligence might work and what it needs to do so, thanks. maybe a bigger version of this could also find the formula for our universe if we feed it all the observation data, just for fun of course.

it give out 33? I think its not quite working yet 😉

Well yeah, you could try calculating a goal of 42, but it'd take approximately 7.5 million years to complete.

That's not so long for the average synthnaker project to be computed. 😉

Before your first post

A few rules keep this a friendly place. You agree to them once.

Shown next to what you post, here and in the app. It doesn’t have to be your real name: 3–24 lower-case letters, digits or _ (capitals become lower case, spaces become _).

    Then your post goes up straight away.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
