7 stops · basics first
  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. Machine Learning ✓ understood

    Building systems that learn patterns from data instead of following hand-written rules, getting better at a task as they see more examples.

  4. Neural Network ✓ understood

    A computational model inspired by biological neural networks, consisting of interconnected nodes (neurons) organized in layers that process information through weighted connections.

  5. Activation Function ✓ understood

    A non-linear function applied to neuron outputs that introduces non-linearity, enabling networks to learn complex patterns.

  6. Softmax ✓ understood

    A function that turns a list of scores (logits) into probabilities that are all positive and sum to 1; the standard output of classifiers and language models.

  7. Knowledge Distillation ✓ understood

    Training a smaller 'student' model to mimic a larger 'teacher' model, transferring knowledge while reducing size.

  8. Student Model · you are here ✓ understood

The smaller model in knowledge distillation learning to mimic the teacher’s behavior.

This concept is essential for understanding training & optimization and forms a key part of modern AI systems.
