// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM

Model Evaluation

The process of assessing how well a machine learning model performs on unseen data, using various metrics to understand its accuracy and reliability.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION

Model Evaluation is the systematic process of quantitatively assessing the performance and generalization capability of a trained machine learning model on a dedicated test or validation dataset, employing appropriate metrics (e.g., accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, MSE) to determine its effectiveness for a given task.

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.
