Self-replicating artificial neural networks give rise to universal evolutionary dynamics.

In evolutionary models, mutations are exogenously introduced by the modeler, rather than endogenously introduced by the replicator itself. We present a new deep-learning based computational model, the self-replicating artificial neural network (SeRANN). We train it to (i) copy its own genotype, like...
