// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM

Outlier

A data point that is significantly different from other data points in a dataset, potentially indicating an error or a rare event.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION

A data instance that deviates significantly from other observations in a dataset, lying an abnormal distance from other values, potentially influencing statistical analyses or machine learning 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.
