We have many candidate tests to amplify. This is a problem for performance.

So we need a procedure to select a subset of tests to amplify.

This is currently done with the character edit distance from the original tests.

We can do much more advanced selection with machine learning.

(the selection problem also happens after the n-th amplification and before the n+1-th one)
