core · A defined computational procedure.ModelA miniature representation of a thing, with the several parts in due proportion; sometimes, a facsimile of the same size.
core · A learned or designed representation used to make predictions.Training dataExamples used to teach an AI system patterns.
core · Examples used to fit a model.InferenceThe act or process of inferring by deduction or induction.
core · Using a model to produce an output.Neural networkAn AI structure that learns patterns through layers of connected calculations.
core · A layered computational model inspired by connected neurons.OverfittingWhen a model memorises its examples instead of learning a pattern that generalises.
core · Learning training data too closely to generalise well.ExplainabilityHow easily people can understand why an AI system produced an output.
core · The ability to understand why a model produced an output.
