Fancy academic word #978 that I have never really understood the point of: heuristic
-
-
Well in that case so long as you all tell everyone else what it means when you use it, I'm happy.
-
The real problem is people who don't know the definition fo the word using it (I would argue defiantly) incorrectly
-
I guess also important to differentiate between use in comp sci and use in psychology
-
I have degrees in both aforementioned related fields & work in cogsci. I guess I've forgotten compsci def.
-
so in comp sci I'd understand it to mean methods that somehow "guess" or approximate an answer
-
that's pretty much identical to cogsci then...?
-
I'm not clear that the way Kasparov played chess would be called heuristic? But maybe it would
-
great his cognitive processes could / would be described thus indeed
