Резюме	NEAT is a genetic algorithm for evolving artificial neural networks introduced by Kenneth Stanley and Risto Miikkulainen in 2002. Unlike methods that evolve weights alone, NEAT simultaneously evolves both the topology (structure) and the connection weights of neural networks. It achieves this through a direct genome encoding with historical markings that enable meaningful crossover between networks of different structures, making it applicable to reinforcement learning, game playing, and control tasks without requiring a predefined architecture.	CMA-ES, short for Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy, is a modern derivative-free optimizer for continuous black-box functions introduced by Hansen and Ostermeier in 2001. It maintains a population of candidate solutions drawn from a multivariate normal distribution and iteratively updates the distribution's mean, step size, and full covariance matrix to steer the search toward better regions of the parameter space. It has become the de-facto standard for continuous black-box optimization and is widely used in neural architecture search and reinforcement-learning policy optimization.	Neural Architecture Search (NAS), introduced by Zoph and Le in 2017, automatically optimizes architectural decisions such as a network's depth, width, and connection structure instead of hand-designing them. Leading methods in the field include DARTS, ENAS, and Once-for-All.
