Abstract

A method for automatically generating an artificial neural network that encompasses modules and connections that link those modules, successive modules and/or connections being added to a current starting network. Modules and/or connections that are to be added are selected randomly from a predefinable plurality of possible modules and connections that can be added. A plurality of possible refinements of the current starting network respectively are generated by adding to the starting network modules and/or connections that are to be added. One of the refinements from the plurality of possible refinements is then selected in order to serve as a current starting network in a subsequent execution of the method.
