Vanishing Gradient Intermediate

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

Foundations & Theory
Hessian Matrix Intermediate

Matrix of second derivatives describing local curvature of loss.

AI Economics & Strategy
Inner Product Advanced

Measures similarity and projection between vectors.

Mathematics
Covariance Advanced

Measures joint variability between variables.

Probability & Statistics
Saddle Plateau Intermediate

Flat high-dimensional regions slowing training.

Foundations & Theory
Spurious Correlation Intermediate

Model relies on irrelevant signals.

Model Failure Modes
Feedback Intermediate

Using output to adjust future inputs.

Foundations & Theory
Sensitivity Intermediate

Ability to correctly detect disease.

AI in Healthcare
Gradient Descent Intermediate

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

Optimization
SHAP Intermediate

Feature attribution method grounded in cooperative game theory for explaining predictions in tabular settings.

Foundations & Theory
Gradient Clipping Intermediate

Limiting gradient magnitude to prevent exploding gradients.

AI Economics & Strategy
Energy-Based Model Intermediate

Models that define an energy landscape rather than explicit probabilities.

Model Architectures
Cross-Attention Intermediate

Attention between different modalities.

Computer Vision
Singular Value Decomposition Advanced

Decomposes a matrix into orthogonal components; used in embeddings and compression.

Mathematics
Expectation Advanced

Average value under a distribution.

Probability & Statistics
Cooperative Game Advanced

Agents optimize collective outcomes.

Agents & Autonomy
Concept Drift Intermediate

The relationship between inputs and outputs changes over time, requiring monitoring and model updates.

Foundations & Theory
Feature Intermediate

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

Foundations & Theory
Feature Engineering Intermediate

Designing input features to expose useful structure (e.g., ratios, lags, aggregations), often crucial outside deep learning.

Foundations & Theory
Generalization Intermediate

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

Foundations & Theory
Train/Validation/Test Split Intermediate

Separating data into training (fit), validation (tune), and test (final estimate) to avoid leakage and optimism bias.

Evaluation & Benchmarking
Cross-Validation Intermediate

A robust evaluation technique that trains/evaluates across multiple splits to estimate performance variability.

Foundations & Theory
Accuracy Intermediate

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

Foundations & Theory
Calibration Intermediate

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

Foundations & Theory
Causal Inference Intermediate

Framework for reasoning about cause-effect relationships beyond correlation, often using structural assumptions and experiments.

Foundations & Theory
Class Imbalance Intermediate

When some classes are rare, requiring reweighting, resampling, or specialized metrics.

Machine Learning
Confounding Intermediate

A hidden variable influences both cause and effect, biasing naive estimates of causal impact.

Foundations & Theory
Perplexity Intermediate

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

Evaluation & Benchmarking
Variance Term Intermediate

Error due to sensitivity to fluctuations in the training dataset.

AI Economics & Strategy
Information Gain Intermediate

Reduction in uncertainty achieved by observing a variable; used in decision trees and active learning.
