I discovered a company who invent a creativity machine based on neural networks, This creativity machine compose 11000 songs, design the oral b crossaction, discovered materials harder than diamonds, here is an article of Creativity machine:

and here the company who invented the creativity machine:

http://www.imagination-engines.com

The main structure are two neural networks, one teach to another, and some noise is add to the weights (weights is the importance of a conection between two neurons), and they discovered that with noise a neural network is creative, and start to design new strategies to solve the problem. They also simulated the brain death on one of the networks, on this page you will find an applet of a neural network who was learn to dance, it show a brain on death process... very interesting:

It seems to be a interesting concept add random noise to a trained neural network, it is like mutations on a genetic algorithm.

wow!
Imagine the posibilites of this!

a device that learns to drive by itself (on the webpage there is an animation of the IEI that made a machine walk by itself!)

so, just for taking an hand on example, you can use with programming :P you can learn it to make Themes that human thinks looks good, then it will make them itself :-|
nice!

Yes, it have a lot of posibilities, for this reason the creative machine was patented :D
The fact to learn a machine to walk itself can be implemented without this creative machine using reinforcement training:

It begins to get forward, the robot :D

hehe it was a good idea to patent it. But well some sort like that, just likewise can be programmed yourself right? I see you already done some good work in the scene :D
