I am not experienced with NN, but I too have developed an (interesting?)
idea in this field.
Suppose you have a 2-player perfect-info game such as chess, ttt, etc...
You can then use a net as move-generator / evaluation-function in a
canonical alpha-beta search. I would like to discuss this idea with
experts and read some paper, but at the moment I have no bibliografy to
send to you. Sorry if I can't help more than this...
Please forward to me any interesting paper.
