// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM

Neural Network

A computational model inspired by the human brain, consisting of interconnected nodes (neurons) organized in layers. It learns to recognize patterns and make predictions from data.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION

A computational model composed of interconnected nodes (neurons) organized in layers, processing information through weighted connections and activation functions to learn complex patterns and approximate functions.

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.
