Data Processing
Batch Processing
The execution of a series of jobs on a computer without manual intervention.
Machine Learning
batch-learning
A learning method where the model is trained on a fixed dataset in one go.
Statistics
Bayesian Inference
A statistical method using Bayes' theorem to update the probability of a hypothesis as more evidence becomes available.
Probabilistic Models
Bayesian Network
A probabilistic graphical model that represents a set of variables and their conditional dependencies using a directed acyclic graph.
Optimization
bayesian-optimization
A probabilistic model-based optimization technique for finding the minimum of a function.
Evaluation
Benchmark
A benchmark is a fixed task suite used to compare models, with scores that may not match your production traffic.
Ethics
Bias
A systematic error that leads to inaccurate results or conclusions.
AI Ethics
Bias Audit
A systematic examination of AI models to identify and mitigate biases.
AI Ethics
Bias Mitigation
Techniques and strategies aimed at reducing bias in AI models and datasets.
Model Evaluation
