Hi all, Thanks for your cheers, it means a lot for us. Anshul, thanks for asking. We are very excited about the project, our plan is to add new algorithms. Also, We foresee the need to use/add other types of agents. All of that is going to be done as our research goes forward.
That is great that you have already worked on this. You probably understand how hard it is to work alone in a project like this. Gladly, we are not alone on this boat. Today our whole system is based on symbolic artificial intelligence, our heuristics are based on specialist knowledge. But, as you pointed out the use of machine learning (connectionist artificial intelligence) is pretty interesting for some problems. And yes, we intend to use some neural/Bayesian Network techniques to help us improve our heuristics. Again, that is something that will be done as our research and project go forward.
