Neural Network vs NEATEdApp

Learning and using neural networks in an intuitive and natural way! Intuitive and interactive tutorials. A large number of charts and interactive components are used to make learning more intuitive. Visualized Neural Network Lab. Open the black box of neural networks with simplified datasets and full visualization, gain more intuition. Learning with mission like gaming. In the missions, you will run into many key concepts in neural networks, complete the challenges and acquire a deep understanding. Put neural network lab in your pocket. Variety of datasets: 2D and 3D datasets both with regression and classification. Get the dataset just with a tapping. Do experiments at anytime anywhere. Good visualized neural network knowledges. Key concepts and dynamics are showed with charts and animations. Activations, regularizations, loss functions, classifications, Embedding, CNN1d, CNN2d, RNN and more to come. Visualized Deep Learning Models. Learn the most classic models in an intuitive way that has never been seen before, and quickly master cutting-edge technology. Through modular diagrams, understand how data changes from input to output and how it changes at each step. There are detailed documents for each module, and even reference papers, source codes and animations. Visual neural network model editor. Quickly build a model by dragging your fingers. What you see is what you get: Through real-time calculation and display of the output of each step, the construction of the model has never been so intuitive and efficient; real-time display of various errors, including parameters/input types and value compatibility, etc., abandoning inefficient debugging.

NEATEd — Watch Neural Networks Evolve NEATEd is an interactive playground for the NEAT algorithm (NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies) — implementing the genetic algorithm published by Stanley & Miikkulainen (2002) that grows neural networks node by node, generation by generation, in front of your eyes. Train AI agents to balance a pole on a cart, navigate a snake to find food, land a spacecraft on the Moon, beat a Pong opponent, or master Tic Tac Toe. Watch their networks start as a handful of input-to-output connections and gradually develop hidden nodes, recurrent loops, and complex topologies as evolution finds better solutions. WHO IT'S FOR • Computer science students learning evolutionary computation • AI educators and curriculum designers • Hobbyists curious about how neural architecture search actually works • Anyone who's read Stanley & Miikkulainen's NEAT paper and wanted to play with it WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL • Live network visualisation — every node, every connection, every weight, animated as evolution proceeds. • Side-by-side run comparison — pit two genomes against each other in real time. Verdict cards, trophy badges, fitness curves with aha-moment annotations, behavior radars and live action histograms tell you why one agent beat the other. • Reward shaping editor — tune food rewards, death penalties, and navigation bonuses for each game and watch the agent's behaviour change. • Six Evolution Strategies — Anti-Bloat, Aggressive Exploration, Conservative Refinement, Diversity Boost, Stochastic-Tuned, and Novelty Search (Lehman & Stanley 2008) for escaping deceptive optima. • Full configuration editor — every parameter from the published NEAT formulation: mutation rates, speciation coefficients, weight bounds, initial connection modes. With one-tap recommendations when a run gets stuck. • Built-in glossary — learn local optima vs deceptive optima the moment you encounter them. GAMES INCLUDED Free: CartPole, Snake. Pro: Lunar Lander, Pong, Tic Tac Toe — plus the full Lessons curriculum, full Config Editor, Compare Runs view, unlimited daily training runs, and saving / exporting genomes. LEARN BY DOING The Learn tab walks you through NEAT in 25+ interactive lessons: genomes, speciation, crossover, structural mutation, complexity penalties, novelty search. Daily Challenges give concrete goals — "reach fitness 500 on CartPole", "eat 5 food on Snake" — that turn into tangible results. BUILT IN SWIFT, BUILT FOR YOU Native macOS and iOS app. No cloud LLMs, no telemetry, no ads. Training runs stay on your device. Saved genomes sync via iCloud Drive. Power-aware: warns you before training drains the battery and pauses if your Mac gets too hot. DISSERTATION ORIGIN NEATEd grew out of an MEng Software Engineering dissertation — a Windows tool that wrapped the NEAT-Python library to make neuroevolution approachable for non-coders, exposing every config option through a friendly editor and walking users through the algorithm with built-in lessons. NEATEd is that vision reimagined as a polished native Mac and iOS app, with the NEAT engine independently re-implemented in Swift, plus live animated network visualisations, side-by-side comparison, reward-shaping, and modern evolution strategies the original couldn't easily provide. SUBSCRIPTION NEATed Pro: £12.99 / month or £59.99 / year (with a 7-day free trial). Auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends.
