// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM
Accuracy
A common metric that measures the proportion of correct predictions made by a classification model out of the total number of predictions.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Accuracy is a classification metric defined as the ratio of correctly predicted instances (true positives + true negatives) to the total number of instances in the dataset, often used to evaluate model performance.
BACKGROUND
Prompt engineering is the process of structuring natural language inputs to produce specified outputs from a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) model. Context engineering is the related area of software engineering that focuses on the management of non-prompt contexts supplied to the GenAI model, such as metadata, API tools, and tokens.

- precision (informal)
USAGE NOTE
While intuitive, accuracy can be misleading for imbalanced datasets, where other metrics like precision, recall, or F1-score are preferred.
