A novel algorithm that automatically discovers optimal deep architectures by coevolving both macro and micro structure. Scaled to large distributed environments with hundreds of GPUs and applied across vision and language tasks.

Neuroevolution
Distributed
Meta-evolutionary bilevel algorithm for complex control problems, applied to challenging tasks including helicopter hovering and sparse-reward RL, optimizing topology and weights simultaneously where gradient-based RL struggles to converge.
Evolution
RL
Control
Evolves neural-network hyperparameters and loss functions during training. Backed by scalable distributed infrastructure for large-scale evolutionary optimization in parallel with gradient-based learning.
PBT
AutoML
Distributed
Production AutoML system built on CoDeepNEAT for end-to-end architecture discovery, training, and deployment. Applied at Cognizant across vision, language, and tabular domains, including medical imaging and Wikipedia toxicity classification, demonstrating evolutionary NAS at industry scale.

Position paper proposing a framework for artificial general intelligence grounded in non-equilibrium thermodynamics and chaotic dynamics. Argues that thermodynamic attractors and self-organizing dynamics — not pure gradient descent — are the substrate for open-ended, recursively self-improving cognition.
