Hi,

The bottom line is often, PRAMs might be
closer to physics. Especially for certain
machine learning algorithms or questions

from modelling perception or action. You
might get better results if you model the
problem in terms of Boltzman machines,

or whatever from the arsenal of physics.

Bye

P.S.: Whats was a little popular for a certain
moment of time, was also the idea of partical
swarm optimization, for machine learning or

for problem solving:

Particle swarm optimization
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_swarm_optimization

Not sure how much of it got supperseeded
by multi sample updates, or some such.
