8 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. Supervised Learning ✓ understood

    Learning from examples paired with the correct answer, so a model can predict answers for new inputs it hasn't seen.

  6. Regression ✓ understood

    A supervised learning task where the model predicts continuous numerical values rather than discrete categories.

  7. Mean Squared Error ✓ understood

    A loss function for regression that computes the average squared difference between predictions and targets.

  8. Mean Absolute Error ✓ understood

    The average absolute difference between predictions and actual values, a regression metric less sensitive to outliers than MSE.

  9. Huber Loss · you are here ✓ understood

A loss function that’s quadratic for small errors and linear for large errors, robust to outliers.

This concept is essential for understanding model evaluation & metrics and forms a key part of modern AI systems.
