During my A levels I completed an award winning A* EPQ. This is a dissertation equivalent to half an A level. For the topic of my EPQ, I chose to continue a personal project, developing machine learning.

An AI that uses a combination of multiple learning techniques, is better than an AI that uses only one learning technique.

I developed a multi-technique learning AI agent for supervised learning that works on reinforcement tasks.
This works by watching humans play each other, or from creating its own data-set using brute force, or by using an existing data-set.

Once a data-set is created it then uses stochastic gradient descent to train a neural network. When the error of the data-set is low enough, evolution then takes over the learning of the network to allow the agent to improve beyond the starting data-set. This learned all the tasks I tested it on faster with more accuracy and reliability than the other AI agents at the time.
