Line Search Intermediate

Choosing step size along gradient direction.

Foundations & Theory
Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model Advanced

Diffusion model trained to remove noise step by step.

Diffusion & Generative Models
Batch Size Intermediate

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

Foundations & Theory
Scaling Laws Intermediate

Empirical laws linking model size, data, compute to performance.

AI Economics & Strategy
Learning Rate Schedule Intermediate

Adjusting learning rate over training to improve convergence.

AI Economics & Strategy
Tokenization Intermediate

Converting text into discrete units (tokens) for modeling; subword tokenizers balance vocabulary size and coverage.

Foundations & Theory
Chunking Intermediate

Breaking documents into pieces for retrieval; chunk size/overlap strongly affect RAG quality.

Foundations & Theory
Top-p Intermediate

Samples from the smallest set of tokens whose probabilities sum to p, adapting set size by context.

Foundations & Theory
Chain-of-Thought Intermediate

Stepwise reasoning patterns that can improve multi-step tasks; often handled implicitly or summarized for safety/privacy.

Foundations & Theory
Noise Schedule Advanced

Controls amount of noise added at each diffusion step.

Diffusion & Generative Models
Diffusion Model Advanced

Generative model that learns to reverse a gradual noise process.

Diffusion & Generative Models
Latent Diffusion Advanced

Diffusion performed in latent space for efficiency.

Diffusion & Generative Models
Particle Filter Intermediate

Monte Carlo method for state estimation.

Time Series
Gradient Descent Intermediate

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

Optimization
Hessian Matrix Intermediate

Matrix of second derivatives describing local curvature of loss.

AI Economics & Strategy
Stochastic Approximation Intermediate

Optimization under uncertainty.

Foundations & Theory
Learning Rate Intermediate

Controls the size of parameter updates; too high diverges, too low trains slowly or gets stuck.

Foundations & Theory
Vocabulary Intermediate

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

Transformers & LLMs
Emergent Abilities Intermediate

Capabilities that appear only beyond certain model sizes.

AI Economics & Strategy
Data Scaling Intermediate

Increasing performance via more data.

AI Economics & Strategy
Adam Intermediate

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

Optimization
RAG Intermediate

Architecture that retrieves relevant documents (e.g., from a vector DB) and conditions generation on them to reduce hallucinations.

Foundations & Theory
SFT Intermediate

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

Foundations & Theory
Beam Search Intermediate

Search algorithm for generation that keeps top-k partial sequences; can improve likelihood but reduce diversity.

Foundations & Theory
Top-k Intermediate

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

Foundations & Theory
Orchestration Intermediate

Coordinating tools, models, and steps (retrieval, calls, validation) to deliver reliable end-to-end behavior.

Foundations & Theory
Causal Mask Intermediate

Prevents attention to future tokens during training/inference.

AI Economics & Strategy
Exploration-Exploitation Tradeoff Intermediate

Balancing learning new behaviors vs exploiting known rewards.
