There’s a difference between interpolation and induction. You’re not going to interpolate a hash function.


There's no way a neural network could ever learn a hash function directly (unless it had every possible input and output in its table), and if there was an indirect way to train it, you'd discover that it was interpolating between (say) possible hash functions by working in a larger space, for example if it was trained to generate and test C programs that computed hashes.
