6 stops · basics first
  1. Dataset ✓ understood

    A collection of data examples used for training, validating, or testing machine learning models.

  2. Training ✓ understood

    The process of fitting a model to data by repeatedly measuring how wrong its outputs are and adjusting its parameters to reduce that error.

  3. Loss Function ✓ understood

    A function that scores how wrong a model's prediction is as a single number, which training then works to make as small as possible.

  4. Machine Learning ✓ understood

    Building systems that learn patterns from data instead of following hand-written rules, getting better at a task as they see more examples.

  5. Neural Network ✓ understood

    A computational model inspired by biological neural networks, consisting of interconnected nodes (neurons) organized in layers that process information through weighted connections.

  6. Recurrent Neural Network ✓ understood

    A neural network architecture with loops that allow information to persist, designed for sequential data like text and time series.
