Meaning of `.reset()`? #16

Closed wbrickner closed 2 years ago

wbrickner commented 2 years ago

What does .reset() method do on Neat struct?

I'd like to ensure my understanding is correct, as the documentation is a little unclear.

My real goal is to remove any previous state that may be retained in the network from previous evaluations / forward passes. This ensures there is no chance of information leakage between successive trials (fitness measurements).

Will the .reset() method do this?

Thank you!

Correct, the .reset() method will clear all memory/previous state from the NEAT network.
