Erik Hoel in this paper offers an audacious hypothesis: Our brain, during the its evolution, has developed dreams as a way to solve over-fitting
Since we’re learning from a limited samples of data in the real world, chances of overfitting (I call it judgement) goes higher. In ML we inject randomness and noise to avoid overfitting. Hoel theory can explain why our dreams are so sparse & hallucinatory
