[[Neuroevolution]] can create neural network topologies and weights using [[evolutionary computation]]. It is competitive with sophisticated gradient descent approaches.<ref>{{cite arXiv |last1=Salimans |first1=Tim |title=Evolution Strategies as a Scalable Alternative to Reinforcement Learning |date=7 September 2017 |eprint=1703.03864 |last2=Ho |first2=Jonathan |last3=Chen |first3=Xi |last4=Sidor |first4=Szymon |last5=Sutskever |first5=Ilya|class=stat.ML }}</ref><ref>{{cite arXiv|last1=Such |first1=Felipe Petroski |title=Deep Neuroevolution: Genetic Algorithms Are a Competitive Alternative for Training Deep Neural Networks for Reinforcement Learning |date=20 April 2018 |eprint=1712.06567 |last2=Madhavan |first2=Vashisht |last3=Conti |first3=Edoardo |last4=Lehman |first4=Joel |last5=Stanley |first5=Kenneth O. |last6=Clune |first6=Jeff|class=cs.NE }}</ref> One advantage of neuroevolution is that it may be less prone to get caught in "dead ends".<ref>{{cite news|date=10 January 2018|title=Artificial intelligence can 'evolve' to solve problems|
