Have you considered the use of Monte Carlo sampling to inspect latent behaviors?
- ben_w 3y agoI think that's the wrong level to attack the problem; you can do that also with actual humans, but it won't tell you what the human is unable to think, but rather what they just didn't think of given their stimulus — and this difference is easily demonstrated, e.g. with Duncker's candle problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candle_problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candle_problem
- politician 3y agoI agree that it’s not a complete solution, but this sort of characterization is still useful towards the goal of identifying regions of fitness within the model. Maybe you can’t explore the entire forest, but maybe you can clear the area around your campsite sufficiently. Even if there are still bugs in the ground.
