title: What weights should I use to start a NEAT based neural network?
body: <p>After reading a few papers on Neuro Evolution, more specifically NEAT, I realised that there was very little information regarding how you should weight each synapse at the start of the Neural Network. I understand that at the start, using NEAT, all the input neurons are connected to the output neuron, and then evolution takes place from there. However, should you weight each synapse randomly at the start, or simply set each one to 1?</p>
