Exhibition: “Jack into the Noösphere” of Chiba City Festival of Arts
ALTERNATIVE MACHINE
ANH-01, 2021

For the exhibition, we used NEAT (NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies), which incorporates deep learning and genetic algorithms, to update the algorithm so that it acquires a sound including pitch and other sounds through its own evolution. The hardware has also been improved so that it can be installed outdoors for extended periods of time.
生態系へのジャックイン展に向け、深層学習と遺伝的アルゴリズムを取り入れたNEAT(NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies)を採用し、自らの進化で音程など含む鳴き声を獲得するようにアルゴリズムを更新した。ハードウェアも長時間野外で設置できるように改良している。
