Lamarckian Inheritance in Neuromodulated Multiobjective Evolutionary Neurocontrollers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper presents a novel evolutionary multiobjective neurocontroller with unsupervised learning and Lamarckian inheritance for robot navigation. Multiobjective evolution of network weights and topologies (NEAT-MODS) is augmented with Lamarckian inherited neuromodulated learning. NEAT-MODS is an NSGA-II augmented multiobjective neurocon-troller that uses two conflicting objectives. NEAT-MODS uses a selection process that aims to ensure Pareto-optimal genotypic diversity and elitism. Neuromodulation is a biologically-inspired technique that can adapt the per-connection learning rates of synaptic plasticity. Effectiveness of the design is demonstrated using a series of experiments with a simulated robot traversing a simple maze containing target goals. It is shown that when Lamarckian inheritance is combined with evolved neuromodulated learning, neural controllers are synthesized in fewer generations than by neuromodulated evolution alone. The proposed Lamarckian neuromodulated approach is found to be statistically superior to neuromodulation alone when applied to solve a multiobjective navigation problem.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
