abstract = "In this paper, a novel search operation is proposed
for the neuroevolution of augmented topologies, namely
the difference-based mutation. This operator uses the
differences between individuals in the population to
perform more efficient search for optimal weights and
structure of the model. The difference is determined
according to the innovation numbers assigned to each
node and connection, allowing tracking the changes. The
implemented neuroevolution algorithm allows backward
connections and loops in the topology, and uses a set
of mutation operators, including connections merging
and deletion. The algorithm is tested on a set of
classification problems and the rotary inverted
pendulum control problem. The comparison is performed
between the basic approach and modified versions. The
sensitivity to parameter values is examined. The
experimental results prove that the newly developed
operator delivers significant improvements to the
classification quality in several cases, and allow
finding better control algorithms.",
