Releases Overview

This project has undergone multiple releases, each marking a significant advancement in its development. Below is a summary of the key versions:

Release 1 (R1) - 2023

  • The initial version of the project was built directly from the master branch.
  • This version was developed as part of a thesis project and was not hosted in a GitHub repository.
  • Provided the foundation for dynamic neural network adaptation and Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS)-based optimization.

Release 2 (R2) - 2024

  • This version was derived from the codebase used for the ICCS 2024 paper:
  • "Dynamic Growing and Shrinking of Neural Networks with Monte Carlo Tree Search"
  • Published in Computational Science – ICCS 2024 (Springer LNCS, vol. 14832)
  • Authors: Szymon Świderski & Agnieszka Jastrzębska
  • First Online: June 28, 2024
  • Pages: 362–377
  • Hosted on GitHub for improved version control and collaboration.
  • Code improvements for performance and stability, incorporating refinements based on ICCS 2024 research findings.

Release 3 (R3) - 2025 (Ongoing)

  • Targeted for ICCS 2025 submission, building upon the advancements made in R2.
  • Further optimizations and enhancements to the Monte Carlo Tree Search approach.
  • Improvements in dynamic network restructuring and efficiency.
  • Automated testing and performance monitoring integrations.

GitHub Repository Enhancements
