Manifold Learning

Guess Factor based methods generalize well, based on priori knowledge about robots moving in circles & max escape angle. Better methods such as precise max escape angle helps greatly. However given enough samples, I wonder whether some deep enough model can learn the shape of escape envelop, as well as precise max escape angle, etc. And generalize even better.

I could imagine developing some sort of "LearnedFactor" function that takes as input the firing angle along with the enemy's position, velocity, maybe more complex features like precise MAE, etc. As long as the function is invertible with respect to the firing angle you could then do KNN with those instead of GuessFactors.
