Bias–Variance Tradeoff Intermediate

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

Foundations & Theory
Loss Function Intermediate

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

Foundations & Theory
Concept Drift Intermediate

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

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
Convolutional Neural Network Intermediate

A learning paradigm where an agent interacts with an environment and learns to choose actions to maximize cumulative reward.

Reinforcement Learning
Online Learning Intermediate

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

Machine Learning
Domain Shift Intermediate

A mismatch between training and deployment data distributions that can degrade model performance.

MLOps & Infrastructure
