Have you found a solution somehow? I'm looking for a library for evolving deep neural networks with genetic algorithms and PyBrain would have been a good choice, but it's a dead project, so I'm looking for a valid alternative. Any suggestion?
I'm currently working with Pybrain. It's wonderful as it allows me to use a feedforward neural net without the backpropagation function. This enables me to evolve the neural network's weights using genetic algorithms.
Just so happens that I've hit a wall when it comes to the library's capabilities, and given that the devs have stopped working on it, I'm not sure how to move forward.
I'm trying to implement the wide and deep neural net (c/o Tensorflow) on PyBrain. I've read the tutorial and get the gist of it. However, PyBrain doesn't seem to allow this, despite having the modules and functions to build the architecture.
Now, this is the error that I'm getting, which makes me think that this might not be possible on PyBrain as the developers have not anticipated a wide & deep neural net.
However, the fact that they put the parameters inSliceFrom and inSliceTo in the Connection module suggests otherwise. Also, the tutorials hint at
and
I love PyBrain because of its modular nature, and I don't want to give up on this. I know Keras has the same modularity, but I don't think it comes with a feed forward net that doesn't have to be trained using back-propagation.
Any help re getting past this error would be helpful. Thanks!!
