In non-deterministic solvers, the path to solution is driven by random processes that accumulate problem learning as they solve, as opposed to deduction from prior knowledge or experience. A technical description of these processes, while in some sense explanatory, is hard for non-experts to comprehend. The research challenge that ENDS will address is how to derive human-understandable knowledge about the problem from the non-deterministic solution process and translate that into an explanatory form for end-users.
