abstract = "The development and theoretical analysis of neural
network architectures may be improved with the
availability of techniques which allow the systematic
representation and generation of classes of
architectures. Recent work on the genetic optimization
of neural networks has led to new ideas on how to
encode neural network architectures abstractly as
grammars. Extending this approach, we have devised an
encoding system that uses an attribute grammar in which
the evaluation of both synthesised and inherited
attributes within a generated parse tree provides the
details of the connectivity of the network. Comparison
with cellular encoding and the geometry-oriented
variation of cellular encoding suggests that attribute
grammar encoding is simpler, easier to use, and has
more potential as a technique for effectively
generating neural networks.",
