// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM
True Negative
A result where the model correctly predicted that something was absent or false when it was indeed absent or false.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
In binary classification, a True Negative occurs when a model correctly predicts the negative class (e.g.,
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.

- Correct rejection
- correctly negative
USAGE NOTE
A high number of true negatives is desirable in medical diagnostics to avoid false alarms.
