// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM
Data Preprocessing
The process of cleaning and transforming raw data into a format that is suitable for machine learning models.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
A critical phase in the machine learning lifecycle involving data cleaning (handling missing values, outliers), transformation (scaling, normalization), and reduction (feature selection, dimensionality reduction) to enhance model performance and mitigate data quality issues.
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.

USAGE NOTE
Effective data preprocessing is essential to prevent "garbage in, garbage out" scenarios in AI models.
