Re: [Maxima-discuss] ML for symbolic math

[Stavros M. (Σ. Μ. <mac...@al...>]

But how is that famous AI supposed to know what you want? If your input is
[sin(x),cos(x)] do you want a parametric plot (a circle) or two line plots?
Do you want one cycle? multiple cycles? What about tan(x) -- where do you
clip the y axis? Or do you use a logistic curve to fit it all in a finite
space? If your input is [2,4,4,4,5,6,7,8,8,8,9], is that
[x,y]=[[1,2],[2,4],[3,4],[4,4]...] -- a bar chart, a scatterplot, or
connected by lines? -- or a histogram like [x,y]=[[2,1],[4,3],[5,1], ...]
or a smoothed density plot (with what parameters?)? etc etc.
