Techniques that discourage overly complex solutions to improve generalization (reduce overfitting).

Foundations & Theory
Stochastic Approximation Intermediate

Optimization under uncertainty.

Foundations & Theory
Stochastic Gradient Descent Intermediate

A gradient method using random minibatches for efficient training on large datasets.

Foundations & Theory
Variational Autoencoder Advanced

Autoencoder using probabilistic latent variables and KL regularization.

Diffusion & Generative Models
Dropout Intermediate

Randomly zeroing activations during training to reduce co-adaptation and overfitting.

Foundations & Theory
Sampling Intermediate

Stochastic generation strategies that trade determinism for diversity; key knobs include temperature and nucleus sampling.

Foundations & Theory
Semi-Supervised Learning Intermediate

Training with a small labeled dataset plus a larger unlabeled dataset, leveraging assumptions like smoothness/cluster structure.

Machine Learning
Hyperparameters Intermediate

Configuration choices not learned directly (or not typically learned) that govern training or architecture.

Optimization
Objective Function Intermediate

A scalar measure optimized during training, typically expected loss over data, sometimes with regularization terms.

Optimization
Empirical Risk Minimization Intermediate

Minimizing average loss on training data; can overfit when data is limited or biased.

Optimization
Overfitting Intermediate

When a model fits noise/idiosyncrasies of training data and performs poorly on unseen data.

Foundations & Theory
Generalization Intermediate

How well a model performs on new data drawn from the same (or similar) distribution as training.

Foundations & Theory
Early Stopping Intermediate

Halting training when validation performance stops improving to reduce overfitting.

Foundations & Theory
Data Augmentation Intermediate

Expanding training data via transformations (flips, noise, paraphrases) to improve robustness.

Foundations & Theory
Sharp Minimum Intermediate

A narrow minimum often associated with poorer generalization.

AI Economics & Strategy
Expressivity Intermediate

The range of functions a model can represent.

AI Economics & Strategy
Bias–Variance Tradeoff Intermediate

A conceptual framework describing error as the sum of systematic error (bias) and sensitivity to data (variance).

Foundations & Theory
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
Gradient Descent Intermediate

Iterative method that updates parameters in the direction of negative gradient to minimize loss.

Optimization
Online Learning Intermediate

Learning where data arrives sequentially and the model updates continuously, often under changing distributions.

Machine Learning
Momentum Intermediate

Uses an exponential moving average of gradients to speed convergence and reduce oscillation.

Optimization
Adam Intermediate

Popular optimizer combining momentum and per-parameter adaptive step sizes via first/second moment estimates.

Optimization
Batch Size Intermediate

Number of samples per gradient update; impacts compute efficiency, generalization, and stability.

Foundations & Theory
Epoch Intermediate

One complete traversal of the training dataset during training.

Foundations & Theory
Neural Network Intermediate

A parameterized function composed of interconnected units organized in layers with nonlinear activations.

Neural Networks
Federated Learning Intermediate

Training across many devices/silos without centralizing raw data; aggregates updates, not data.

Foundations & Theory
Top-k Intermediate

Samples from the k highest-probability tokens to limit unlikely outputs.

Foundations & Theory
Non-Convex Optimization Intermediate

Optimization with multiple local minima/saddle points; typical in neural networks.

AI Economics & Strategy
