Hallucination is commonly used in ML parlance and gets the point across without needing to know what "stochastic" means.
- dsr_ 4y ago"Stochastic" means "random, not supported by facts, hypothetical" in every context in which it is used, across many fields. The real problem is that anyone thought that they could pull factual material out of a giant language correlation network.
- mejutoco 4y agoThe temperature parameter selects randomly (more or less random/predictable depending on value) from different distributions(stochastic sampling) Not contradicting you, but wanted to add it. I was reading about it today.
- Terretta 4y agostochastic screening in printing (as opposed to halftoning) samples constrained random color points from a real/actual image the uses of stochastic i've seen 'in the wild' have nothing to do with 2/3 of that definition
- kwhitefoot 4y agoIf people in the ML community don't know what stochastic means then how can they communicate with each other? Precision in communication in such contentious areas seems to me to be of paramount importance, especially when speaking to people not in ones immediate circle.
- kgwgk 4y agoIt’s also a misleading anthropomorphization that can get across the wrong message - in particular among those who don’t know what “stochastic” means but also among those who should know better.
