interpolators

Between-point value guessers

Interpolators are people or things that interpolate—that insert something into an existing sequence or estimate values between known points.

In mathematics and computing, interpolators are algorithms or functions that calculate intermediate values from discrete data: The software uses linear interpolators to smooth the animation between keyframes.

In other contexts, an interpolator might be someone who inserts remarks or passages into a text or conversation.
