Tried to build a autoencoder for Conway's game of life. Not for projects, just a random thought to see if AI can distinguish any meaningful pattern by encoding a given state (without implementing the Algorithm Specified Complexity, which I can't understand a word).

Not sure what's going wrong (maybe everything? I mean, I use Java for deep learning, what could possibly go right?), but I tried MLP, conv and deconv, none of them working well.

Currently trying LeNet-5 as encoder and MLP as decoder. Not likely working, LOL.
