Re: [Java AI Library Development] FW: Java AI library progress

[Alexander W. <al...@ts...>]

Interesting idea,

I hadn't thought of making the API cover that much ground, but I guess why
not. I suppose a GA might be useful in developing a decision tree. Maybe
along the lines of evolving behaviour? I don't know, what would be the
challenge here is the integration of the different components. How would the
GA talk to the CBR or ANN or do you define that as system specific if so is
there some help given? Software design issues mainly.
