Neuro-Evolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT) is a (Click link for more info and facts about genetic algorithm) genetic algorithm for evolving (Any network of neurons or nuclei that function together to perform some function in the body) neural networks.
Conventional neural (The configuration of a communication network) network topology is defined by the developer, and the genetic algorithm is used to modify weights in the network.
As the evolution progresses, the topology of the network may be augmented by adding a neuron along an exisiting connection, or by adding anew connection between previously unconnected neurons.

 Neuroevolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neuroevolution, or neuro-evolution, is the use of genetic algorithms to train artificial neural networks.
It is useful for applications such as games and robotic motor control, where it is easy to measure a network's performance at a task but difficult or impossible to create a syllabus of correct input-output pairs for use with a supervised learning algorithm.
A distinction is made between those that only evolve the values of the connection weights for a network of pre-specified topology, vs. those that evolve the topology of the network in addition to the weights.

That is the topology determines, the amount of work that needs to be done for the network to evolve into a given logical configuration.
Thus, an optimal physical topology would be a statistical ensemble of the networks that the neural network is expected to simulate, therefore minimizing the expected work.
That is, the optimal topology is that where the expected aggregate evolutionary path length (in bits) of a configuration, from the initial state (possibly a random state), is proportional to the log-likelihood of that configuration being "ideal" (being the one that minimizes free energy).

Genetic algorithms have been successfully applied to the study of neurological evolution (see NeuroEvolution by Augmented Topologies).
As a general rule of thumb genetic algorithms might be useful in problem domains that have a complex fitness landscape as recombination is designed to move the population away from local minima that a traditional hill climbing algorithm might get stuck in.
Genetic programming algorithms typically require running time that is orders of magnitude greater than that for genetic algorithms, but they may be suitable for problems that are intractable with genetic algorithms.

 3 NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT)
Genomes of different organizations and sizes stay compatible throughout evolution, and the problem of comparing different topologies is essentially avoided.
Because smaller structures optimize faster than larger structures, and adding nodes and connections usually initially decreases the fitness of the network, recently augmented structures have little hope of surviving more than one generation even though the innovations they represent might be crucial towards solving the task in the long run.
Unlike other systems that evolve network topologies and weights, NEAT begins with a uniform population of simple networks with no hidden nodes, differing only in their initial random weights.

Instead of just adjusting the weights in a network of fixed topology, Cascade-Correlation begins with a minimal network, then automatically trains and adds new hidden units one by one, creating a multi-layer structure.
We claim that the increased efficiency is due to (1) employing a principled method of crossover of different topologies, (2) protecting structural innovation using speciation, and (3) incrementally growing from minimal structure.
