AIMA4e reimplement Fig 21.8 Q-Learning-Agent from AIMA3e branch

[AdrianBZG]

Hi @ctjoreilly ,

I'm a senior Computer Science university student from Spain, and I feel interested on this project for GSoC'17.

I want to make a good proposal and I have some questions about this the "reimplement" issues, with reimplement do you mean to use Java 8 features?

Thank you!

Hi.

Yes regards Java 8 features where it makes sense. However, we also want to improve upon the existing AIMA3e implementations where it makes sense, for example from:

https://github.com/aimacode/aima-java/wiki/AIMA4e-Overview

"Address over/under flow issues in the probability APIs"

Thanks for your reply @ctjoreilly ,

So a good proposal would include "reimplementing to Java 8" and fixing address over/under flow issues in the prob. APIs, among other ideas, or it should only have 1 idea (e.g. reimplementing in Java 8)?

Also, another question: is it fine if I discuss this here or maybe I should use email? (In that case I would like to know the contact mail for discussing this ideas).

Thank you.

A set of cohesive ideas that support each other are good for GSoC proprosals. However, high level ideas are only the start of the proposal, a detailed breakdown of what will actually be tackled is important (i.e. algorithms listed, tests, documentation, schedule etc...).

Ok, is it fine if I discuss the proposal here or maybe I should use email? (In that case I would like to know the contact mail for discussing this proposal).

Thank you.

Well for GSoC you should submit your proposal and open it for feedback. That's the best mechanism and for those that look for feedback I do my best to do so.

@ctjoreilly Great, I'll start with the proposal, thank you!
