The simulated beefs genome consists of a string of 28 genes, each representing a parameter governing the network architecture or learning dynamics. ... The regular and differential modules each have a different learning rule specified by four real-valued genes (parameters A . D of Equation 3, initialized in range [.0.2, 0.2]); The global learning rate of the network ƒÅ is specified by a realvalued gene (initialized in range [0, 1]); and four
