// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM
Loss Function
A mathematical function that calculates the penalty for a model's incorrect predictions, guiding the model to learn and improve.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
A Loss Function (or Cost Function) is a mathematical function that quantifies the discrepancy between a model's predicted output and the actual ground truth value for a given input, providing a measure of error that the optimization algorithm aims to minimize during model training.
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.
