I need topic ideas related to AI on which I will base my thesis. I am mostly interested in Genetic Algorithm and Neural Networks techniques. I already got the some ideas, but non of them seems to hit me!
Any help will be really appreciated!! :)

A:
Russ Greiner has a great list of project topics for his machine learning course, so that's a great place to start.
Both GAs and ANNs are learners/classifiers. So I ask you the question, what is an interesting "thing" to learn? Maybe it's:
- Detecting cancer
- Predicting the outcome between two sports teams
- Filtering spam
- Detecting faces
- Reading text (OCR)
- Playing a game
The sky is the limit, really!

A:
I think your thesis should involve a project of a high-carnage shooting game in the style of Smash TV or Crimsonland that uses the player as the fitness function for a GA engine: generating behavioral control code for the enemies and evaluating fitness by how long the controlled entity survives and/or how much damage it does to the player.
That'd be fun.

What's a problem that you are passionate about? If you pick something that you love and are interested in you will undoubtedly do a better job and learn more. I love finance but it is not for everyone. GA's are best at optimization problems so maybe portfolio optimization using GAs and ANNs.
Maybe predict which blog posts someone will like. I have always wanted to do that but I have not gotten around to it?
