Evaluation Metric
A quantitative measure used to assess the performance and effectiveness of a machine learning model.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
A quantifiable measure (e.g., accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, RMSE, AUC) used to objectively assess the performance, generalization ability, and suitability of a machine learning model for a specific task, guiding model selection and hyperparameter tuning.
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.
