Language Model

Intermediate

A model that assigns probabilities to sequences of tokens; often trained by next-token prediction.

A language model is like a smart assistant that predicts what word comes next in a sentence based on the words that came before it. Imagine you’re playing a word game where you have to guess the next word in a sentence. The model learns from a huge amount of text, like books and articles, to unde...

World Models & Cognition
NLP Intermediate

AI subfield dealing with understanding and generating human language, including syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.

Foundations & Theory
Large Language Model Intermediate

A high-capacity language model trained on massive corpora, exhibiting broad generalization and emergent behaviors.

Large Language Models
Vocabulary Intermediate

The set of tokens a model can represent; impacts efficiency, multilinguality, and handling of rare strings.

Transformers & LLMs
Masked Language Model Intermediate

Predicts masked tokens in a sequence, enabling bidirectional context; often used for embeddings rather than generation.

Foundations & Theory
Prompt Intermediate

The text (and possibly other modalities) given to an LLM to condition its output behavior.

Prompting & Instructions
Prompt Engineering Intermediate

Crafting prompts to elicit desired behavior, often using role, structure, constraints, and examples.

Prompting & Instructions
Multimodal Model Intermediate

Models that process or generate multiple modalities, enabling vision-language tasks, speech, video understanding, etc.

Foundations & Theory
Speech Recognition Intermediate

Converting audio speech into text, often using encoder-decoder or transducer architectures.

Speech & Audio AI
Log Loss Intermediate

Penalizes confident wrong predictions heavily; standard for classification and language modeling.

Optimization
Context Window Intermediate

Maximum number of tokens the model can attend to in one forward pass; constrains long-document reasoning.

Deep Learning Intermediate

A branch of ML using multi-layer neural networks to learn hierarchical representations, often excelling in vision, speech, and language.

Deep Learning
Tool Use Intermediate

Letting an LLM call external functions/APIs to fetch data, compute, or take actions, improving reliability.

Agents & Autonomy
Hallucination Intermediate

Model-generated content that is fluent but unsupported by evidence or incorrect; mitigated by grounding and verification.

Model Failure Modes
SFT Intermediate

Fine-tuning on (prompt, response) pairs to align a model with instruction-following behaviors.

Foundations & Theory
Safety Filter Intermediate

Automated detection/prevention of disallowed outputs (toxicity, self-harm, illegal instruction, etc.).

Foundations & Theory
Perplexity Intermediate

Exponential of average negative log-likelihood; lower means better predictive fit, not necessarily better utility.

Evaluation & Benchmarking
Toolformer Intermediate

Models trained to decide when to call tools.

AI Economics & Strategy
CLIP Intermediate

Joint vision-language model aligning images and text.

Computer Vision
Forced Alignment Intermediate

Aligns transcripts with audio timestamps.
