Agents & Autonomy
Feature Intermediate

A measurable property or attribute used as model input (raw or engineered), such as age, pixel intensity, or token ID.

Foundations & Theory
Confusion Matrix Intermediate

A table summarizing classification outcomes, foundational for metrics like precision, recall, specificity.

Foundations & Theory
Representation Learning Intermediate

Automatically learning useful internal features (latent variables) that capture salient structure for downstream tasks.

Machine Learning
Accuracy Intermediate

Fraction of correct predictions; can be misleading on imbalanced datasets.

Foundations & Theory
Precision Intermediate

Of predicted positives, the fraction that are truly positive; sensitive to false positives.

Foundations & Theory
Recall Intermediate

Of true positives, the fraction correctly identified; sensitive to false negatives.

Foundations & Theory
Specificity Intermediate

Of true negatives, the fraction correctly identified.

Foundations & Theory
PR Curve Intermediate

Often more informative than ROC on imbalanced datasets; focuses on positive class performance.

Evaluation & Benchmarking
Calibration Intermediate

The degree to which predicted probabilities match true frequencies (e.g., 0.8 means ~80% correct).

Foundations & Theory
Dropout Intermediate

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

Foundations & Theory
Vanishing Gradient Intermediate

Gradients shrink through layers, slowing learning in early layers; mitigated by ReLU, residuals, normalization.

Foundations & Theory
Context Window Intermediate

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

Transformers & LLMs
DPO Intermediate

A preference-based training method optimizing policies directly from pairwise comparisons without explicit RL loops.

Optimization
LoRA Intermediate

PEFT method injecting trainable low-rank matrices into layers, enabling efficient fine-tuning.

Foundations & Theory
Prompt Injection Intermediate

Attacks that manipulate model instructions (especially via retrieved content) to override system goals or exfiltrate data.

Foundations & Theory
Data Poisoning Intermediate

Maliciously inserting or altering training data to implant backdoors or degrade performance.

Foundations & Theory
Flat Minimum Intermediate

A wide basin often correlated with better generalization.

AI Economics & Strategy
Warmup Intermediate
