building a model for and with domain knowledge == premature optimization? In the end a win on kaggle or a published paper seems to depend on tweaking hyperparameters based on even more pointed DK: data set knowledge...

I wonder what would be required to build a model that explores the search space of compilable programs in say python that sorts in correct order. Applying this idea of using ML techniques to finding better "thinking" blocks for silicon seems promising.

Oh, not that much. You could do that easily with a small computer and an infinite amount of time.

With Deep Thought and an infinite amount of time, you can get the answer to life the universe and everything...
