About Neat
NEAT was created in 2002 by Kenneth O. Stanley. It was developed to address the limitations of fixed-topology neural networks by evolving both network structures and weights, allowing for more complex and efficient neural networks over time.
Strengths of NEAT include its ability to evolve complex neural network topologies and maintain diversity in the population. Weaknesses involve high computational costs and potential difficulties in scaling to very large problems. Competitors include Genetic Algorithms, Particle Swarm Optimization, and Deep Reinforcement Learning techniques.
