- Dataset ✓ understood
A collection of data examples used for training, validating, or testing machine learning models.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Activation Function ✓ understood
A non-linear function applied to neuron outputs that introduces non-linearity, enabling networks to learn complex patterns.
- Softmax ✓ understood
A function that turns a list of scores (logits) into probabilities that are all positive and sum to 1; the standard output of classifiers and language models.
- Cross-Entropy Loss ✓ understood
A loss function for classification that measures the difference between predicted and true probability distributions.
