N2 - We present the memetic climber, a simple search algorithm that learns topology and weights of neural networks on different time scales. When applied to the problem of learning control for a simulated racing task with carefully selected inputs to the neural network, the memetie climber outperforms a standard hill-climber. When inputs to the network are less carefully selected, the difference is drastic. We also present two variations of the memetie climber and discuss the generalization of the underlying principle to population-based neuroevolution algorithms.
