@RealzSlaw you might be interested in ASP....? seems powerful/promising....
right down your alley?

Q: Justifying asymptotic worst-case analysis to scientists

Artem KaznatcheevI've been working on on introducing some results from computational complexity into theoretical biology, especially evolution & ecology, with the goal of being interesting/useful to biologists. One of the biggest difficulties I've faced is in justifying the usefulness of asymptotic worst-case ana...

saeed cites this remarkable paper, hadnt seen it....
brilliant paper... seems to closely relate to P=?NP question!
as mentioned early on.
but this is strange, it kinda looks like nearly a P!=NP proof! wish they would be more explicit about this. what would it take to prove P!=NP in their framework of "NP mighty" algorithms?
other big news lately....
google acquires deepmind interested in deep learning.... wow.

@RealzSlaw hey rs maybe take a look at that ASP question thought you might be interested... it looks like amazing technology... write in a few lines programs that would take lots of code otherwise... & avoid some defects via use of highlevel concepts built in like graphs, nodes, etc....!
