1. A problem solving acceleration apparatus for shortening a search time in a problem solving unit which uses a tree-search method by a symbol process to obtain a solution to a given problem, the accelerated problem solving apparatus, comprising:

  • a neural network which analyzes the given problem and provides a hint to the problem solving unit, the hint indicating a node to be next processed in the tree-search method which allows the problem solving unit to detect an optimum path to a solution to the given problem quicker; and

    neural network learning control means for training said neural network means by performing a learning process based on the solution to the problem, wherein said learning process presents a set of training points sufficient to train the neural network.
