Here's a paper due to Schmidhuber which is arguably the last word on optimality and AI: http://arxiv.org/abs/cs/0309048

In AI, Optimality Theory provides a formal framework for modeling decision-making processes and optimizing outcomes.

In relation to neural network research, OT has been used to develop models that mimic human cognitive processes, such as perception, memory, and decision-making.
