8 stops · basics first
  1. Dataset ✓ understood

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

  2. Train-Test Split ✓ understood

    Dividing a dataset into separate portions for training the model and evaluating its performance on unseen data.

  3. Validation Set ✓ understood

    A portion of data held out from training, used to tune hyperparameters and monitor overfitting.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Parameter ✓ understood

    Learnable values (weights and biases) in a neural network that are adjusted during training to minimize loss.

  8. Hyperparameter ✓ understood

    Configuration settings external to the model (learning rate, batch size) that must be set before training begins.
