“There’s a lot to be discovered if you let evolution run its course and be creative,” says Risto Miikkulainen, CTO of Sentient and professor of computer science at the University of Texas. As the author of over 380 articles covering research topics in neuroevolution and neural network models of language processing and vision, Miikkulainen is an expert in his field.  Among many topics, he joins the conversation today to discuss the distinction between neuroevolution and standard neural networks, the novel solutions and unanticipated discoveries that result from evolutionary optimization, the application of neuroevolution to robotics, and Sentient Ascent--a website optimization system built by the team at Sentient, whose job is to optimize the design of websites in order to increase the level of user engagement. Tune in for all the details.
