  1. Dataset ✓ understood

    A collection of data examples used for training, validating, or testing machine learning models.

  2. Training ✓ understood

    The process of fitting a model to data by repeatedly measuring how wrong its outputs are and adjusting its parameters to reduce that error.

  3. Inference ✓ understood

    Running a trained model on new inputs to get predictions, with its weights frozen: the stage of a model's life that users actually interact with.

  4. Model Serving ✓ understood

    Deploying trained models as services that can handle prediction requests in production environments.
