// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM
Feature Selection
The process of choosing a subset of relevant features from the original dataset to use in model training.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
The process of identifying and selecting a subset of the most relevant and impactful features from a larger set of available features, aiming to reduce model complexity, mitigate overfitting, improve training speed, and enhance predictive performance.
BACKGROUND
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that uses generative models to generate text, images, videos, audio, software code or other forms of data. These models learn the underlying patterns and structures of their training data, and use them to generate new data in response to input, which often takes the form of natural language prompts.
