[comp.ai.neural-nets] Possibility of resource allocation by NN

pat2@pinet.aip.org (patrick_tibbits) (02/01/91)

I would like to train a NN to do allocation of limited assets to maximize
a merit function. Only rub is, the merit function is evaluated thru a 
monte carlo code, making conventional constrained optimization too compute
intensive. Can I feed back the outcome for the MC simulation to train a 
neural net so I won't have to solve the optimization problem for every
new set of input conditions?
