Hello Nakul, It is a good decision to start with something easy that could be CNE or NEAT. Afterwards, we can use that as a baseline for comparison with other implementation. You should keep in mind, that you have to write tests, for every evolution algorithm you write, and that often takes more time than the actual implementation. Anyway, this year google made draft proposals part of the proposal workflow. So we can comment on your timeline etc. and give feedback once you submitted your application. Also take a look at: http://write.flossmanuals.net/gsocstudentguide/
I hope this is helpful. Let me know if I can clarify anything, Thanks, Marcus > On 10 Mar 2016, at 04:12, Nakul Gulati <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I am a final year Computer Science and Engineering student.
