Abstract
We introduce DeLeNoX (Deep Learning Novelty Ex- plorer), a system that autonomously creates artifacts in constrained spaces according to its own evolving inter- estingness criterion. DeLeNoX proceeds in alternating phases of exploration and transformation. In the explo- ration phases, a version of novelty search augmented with constraint handling searches for maximally diverse artifacts using a given distance function. In the trans- formation phases, a deep learning autoencoder learns to compress the variation between the found artifacts into a lower-dimensional space. The newly trained encoder is then used as the basis for a new distance function, transforming the criteria for the next exploration phase. In the current paper, we apply DeLeNoX to the cre- ation of spaceships suitable for use in two-dimensional arcade-style computer games, a representative problem in procedural content generation in games. We also sit- uate DeLeNoX in relation to the distinction between ex- ploratory and transformational creativity, and in relation to Schmidhuber’s theory of creativity through the drive for compression progress.
