// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM

Precision

A metric that measures the proportion of correctly predicted positive cases out of all cases predicted as positive.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION

A classification evaluation metric defined as the ratio of true positive predictions to the total number of positive predictions (true positives + false positives), indicating the accuracy of positive predictions.

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.
