// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM

Bias

A systematic error in a model's predictions that causes it to consistently favor certain outcomes or groups over others, often due to skewed training data.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION

In machine learning, bias refers to the error introduced by approximating a real-world problem, which may be complex, by a simplified model, leading to systematic deviations from the true values.

BACKGROUND

A large language model (LLM) is a neural network trained on a vast amount of text for natural language processing tasks, especially language generation. LLMs can typically generate, summarize, translate and analyze text in many contexts, and are a foundational technology behind modern chatbots. Biased or inaccurate training data can make an LLM's output less reliable.
