Can you give an example of one of these problems that 'wasn't even constructed until after the model was made'?
I'd like to see if it's truly novel and unique, the first problem of its type ever construed by mankind, or if it's similar to existing problems.
- whimsicalism 2y agoSorry, I thought the whole point of this thread was that models can’t handle problems when they are “slightly varied”. Mottes and baileys all over the place today.
- sudosysgen 2y agoThe point is that it's not consistent on variations, unless it finds a way to connect it to something it already knows. The fact it sometimes succeeds on variations (in codeforces the models are allowed multiple tries, sometimes ridiculous numbers, to be useful) doesn't matter. The point is that the fact it's no longer consistent once you vary the terminology indicates it's fitting a memorized template instead of reasoning from first principles.
