I am an machine learning student looking for an interesting research topic, more specifically I am interested in modeling algorithmic thinking through neural networks. Of course Reinforcement Learning methods come to mind but they mostly make use of tree search and some value/policy function(s) modeled by neural networks. For me such an RL setting does not sound very promising when it comes to General AI because the only known general intelligent system (brain) does not appear to use tree search explicitly but rather as an product of its general intelligence emerging from neural activity. Do you know of any research sub-areas which try to understand these questions?

Hello Dear ML community,
I am an machine learning student looking for an interesting research topic, more specifically I am interested in modeling algorithmic thinking through neural networks. Of course Reinforcement Learning methods come to mind but they mostly make use of tree search and some value/policy function(s) modeled by neural networks. For me such an RL setting does not sound very promising when it comes to General AI because the only known general intelligent system (brain) does not appear to use tree search explicitly but rather as an product of its general intelligence emerging from neural activity. Do you know of any research sub-areas which try to understand these questions?
Appreciate any hints!
