// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM
Imbalanced Data
A dataset where one class or category has significantly fewer examples than the others, which can make it hard for models to learn effectively.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Imbalanced Data refers to a dataset where the distribution of classes in the target variable is highly skewed, with one or more classes (minority classes) having a substantially lower number of instances compared to the majority classes, posing challenges for standard classification algorithms.
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
Requires special handling techniques like oversampling, undersampling, or using specific algorithms to prevent models from ignoring the minority class.
