  • Maybe i shouldnt try to be crafty or use my own thoughts or ideas, and instead just focus on an approach based on search and learning.
  • I think i understand search but i wanna know what the author means by learning as that seems relevant to neural networks mostly. Maybe they mean learning representations of some data
