Abstract
In this work, we have explored the application of neuroevolution to the automatic design of CNN topologies, introducing a common framework for this task and developing two novel solutions based on genetic algorithms and grammatical evolution. We have evaluated our proposal using the MNIST dataset for handwritten digit recognition, achieving a result that is highly competitive with the state-of-the-art without any kind of data augmentation or preprocessing. When misclassified samples are carefully observed, it is found that most of them involve handwritten digits that are difficult to recognize even by a human.
