If you think humans are only interpolating machines then I agree with your statement. Personally, I don't think humans or animals are only capable of doing interpolation
Nonetheless, assuming that these models are only doing interpolation it is astonishing
Now, a question arises; is there some emerging weak extrapolation going on? I have no idea, until very recently I though I had a good grasp of what interpolation/extrapolation meant in "human conceptual space". Not anymore.
- Valgrim 4y agoCan you explain what interpolation and extrapolation mean in this context?
- abriosi 4y agoI wish I could do a good job at that. Let me rob a definition from this paper "Learning in High Dimension Always Amounts to Extrapolation" https://arxiv.org/pdf/2110.09485.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/2110.09485.pdf : Definition 1. Interpolation occurs for a sample x whenever this sample belongs to the convex hull of a set of samples X, {x1, . . . , xN }, if not, extrapolation occurs.
