// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM

Optimizer

An algorithm or method used to adjust the parameters of a machine learning model to minimize the error or loss during training.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION

An algorithm (e.g., Gradient Descent, Adam, RMSprop) responsible for iteratively updating the learnable parameters (weights and biases) of a machine learning model by minimizing the objective function, guiding the model towards optimal performance.

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.
