That’s not a really fair way of putting it. Unless you’re suggesting that there’s something deeply magical about our human “aesthetic” intuition why can’t that itself be coded into a set of syntactic indicators (e.g., favor short equations, don’t repeat yourself, connecting theorems otherwise far from each other in some distance metric is valuable) to be used as a search heuristic?
- whatshisface 7y agoThe human aesthetic can't practically be programmed as a classical algorithm. The human ability to identify cats can't even be programmed as a classical algorithm, that's why neural networks were invented. Maybe a neural network could predict how interesting mathematicians would find a theorem but by that point there's no point for anybody to do anything, even artists.
