Experimental Epistemology 6. Experimental Epistemology for AI We can now create computer based experimental implementations to Epistemology-level theories in order to test them and learn from the outcomes
Experimental Epistemology Featured 7. The Red Pill of Machine Learning Reductionism is the use of Models. Holism is the avoidance of Models. Models are scientific models, theories, hypotheses, formulas, equations, naïve models based on personal experiences, superstitions (!), and traditional computer programs
Artificial Understanding 4. Reduction Epistemic Reduction is a process that discovers higher level abstractions in lower level data by discarding everything at the lower layer that it recognizes as irrelevant
Artificial Understanding 3. Two Dirty Words Reductionism is the use of Models. Holism is the avoidance of Models. Models are scientific Models, Theories, Hypotheses, Formulas, Equations, Superstitions (!) and most computer programs.
