To allow enormous numerical superiority for the number of potential executable concepts with capability to internally fix a network using innumerable ways, and to allow a complete autonomy for the work with tandem configuration.
A device (20) for simulating human creativity employs a neural network (22) trained to produce input-output maps within some predetermined knowledge domain, and an apparatus for subjecting the neural network to perturbations that produce changes in the predetermined knowledge domain. The neural network (22) has an optional output (26) for feeding the outputs from the neural network (22) to a second neural network (24) that evaluates and selects outputs based on training within the second neural network (24). The device may also include a reciprocal feed back connection (28) from the second neural network (24) to the first neural network (22) to further influence the change what takes place in the neural network.
