Description
Neuroevolution is a powerful approach to machine learning and artificial intelligence that uses evolutionary algorithms to evolve neural networks.
Most neural networks use gradient descent rather than neuroevolution. However, around 2017 researchers at Uber stated they had found that simple structural neuroevolution algorithms were competitive with sophisticated modern industry-standard gradient-descent deep learning algorithms.
Deep Neuroevolution: Genetic Algorithms are a Competitive Alternative for Training Deep Neural Networks for Reinforcement Learning
This course introduces students to the principles of neuroevolution and the techniques used to design and implement neuroevolution algorithms.
The course covers the following topics:
Introduction to neuroevolution: basic principles and applications
Evolutionary algorithms: genetic algorithms, genetic programming, and evolutionary strategies
Neural networks: types, architectures, and training techniques
Neuroevolution algorithms: evolutionary algorithms applied to neural networks
Applications of neuroevolution: games, and optimization problems
Advanced topics: multi-objective neuroevolution, neuroevolution of recurrent neural networks, and deep neuroevolution.
In this project, we have applied GeneticEvolution to multiple games such as self-driving cars, smart caps and flappy bird.
This course is a follow-up to my other course about Artificial Neural Networks from scratch, where I show how to create an ANN from scratch without libraries. In that project, the learning process is done using backpropagation(gradient descent), this project uses a different approach. We will use Evolutionary Algorithm.
By following this course until the end, students will have a solid understanding of the principles of neuroevolution and the ability to design and implement neuroevolution algorithms for a variety of applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How long is a coupon valid?
Coupons are created by instructors to promote their courses and attract new students. They can offer either discounted prices (for example, $11.99) or 100% free access. Each coupon expires once it reaches its redemption limit (usually 1,000 enrollments, sometimes 100) or when its expiration date arrives (often within 5 days).
-
What is this "1000 enrollments" from Udemy?
Each Udemy coupon has a maximum activation limit — usually 1,000 uses, though some are limited to 100. This means the coupon can only be redeemed that many times before it expires, or until it reaches its expiration date — whichever comes first.
-
Could you please help me to find a coupon for this course?
We don’t have direct contact with instructors, and only they can create or share coupons. You can try reaching out to the instructor directly — their social links (like Twitter or Facebook) are often listed on their course or profile page. Unfortunately, we can’t provide or request coupons on your behalf.
