- kristjansson 2y agoNewton's method related to universal function approximation in the same way a natural oil seep is related to a modern IC engine...
- astrobe_ 2y agoI think the problem to solve is more like : given a set of inputs and outputs, find a function that gives the expected output for each input [1]. This is like Newton's method on a higher order ;-). One can find such a tool in Squeak or Pharo Smalltalk, IIRC.
