Thanks for the advice. You are right that I need something general and
not opaque.

I should clarify for everyone that, as an experimental psychologist, I
am only interested in machine learning for the purposes of mimicking
human behavior (including all its failings).

I don't need anything fast or optimized, just functional and transparent.
