// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM
Pruning
Pruning is a model compression technique that removes less important connections or neurons from an AI model, making it smaller and potentially faster without significantly affecting its accuracy.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Pruning is a model compression technique that identifies and removes redundant or less significant weights, neurons, or connections from a neural network, effectively reducing the model's parameter count and computational graph complexity, leading to smaller models and faster inference.
BACKGROUND
Algorithmic bias describes systematic and repeatable harmful tendency in a computerized sociotechnical system to create "unfair" outcomes, such as "privileging" one category over another in ways that may or may not be different from the intended function of the algorithm.
