Prompting & Instructions
Human-in-the-Loop Intermediate

System design where humans validate or guide model outputs, especially for high-stakes decisions.

Foundations & Theory
Automation Bias Intermediate

Tendency to trust automated suggestions even when incorrect; mitigated by UI design, training, and checks.

Foundations & Theory

AGI & General Intelligence
Supervised Learning Intermediate

Learning a function from input-output pairs (labeled data), optimizing performance on predicting outputs for unseen inputs.

Machine Learning
Online Learning Intermediate

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

Machine Learning
Model Intermediate

A parameterized mapping from inputs to outputs; includes architecture + learned parameters.

Foundations & Theory
Representation Learning Intermediate

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

Machine Learning
Hyperparameters Intermediate

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

Optimization
Loss Function Intermediate

A function measuring prediction error (and sometimes calibration), guiding gradient-based optimization.

Foundations & Theory
Masked Language Model Intermediate

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

Foundations & Theory
Stochastic Gradient Descent Intermediate

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

Foundations & Theory
Grounding Intermediate

Constraining outputs to retrieved or provided sources, often with citation, to improve factual reliability.

Foundations & Theory
Language Model Intermediate

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

Large Language Models
DPO Intermediate

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

Optimization
Alignment Intermediate

Ensuring model behavior matches human goals, norms, and constraints, including reducing harmful or deceptive outputs.

Foundations & Theory
Data Poisoning Intermediate

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