Backpropagation

AKA: Reverse-Mode Auto-Diff, Backward Propagation of Errors

An efficient algorithm for computing the gradient of the loss function with respect to each weight via the mathematical chain rule.

Machine Learning & Neural Networks FoundationsCard 1 of 10

Gradient Descent

AKA: Steepest Descent, GD

A first-order iterative optimization algorithm for finding a local minimum of a differentiable objective function by taking steps proportional to the negative gradient.

Machine Learning & Neural Networks FoundationsCard 2 of 10

Convolutional Neural Network

AKA: CNN, ConvNet

A deep learning architecture that applies learnable spatial filters (kernels) with weight sharing to process grid-structured data such as images.

Machine Learning & Neural Networks FoundationsCard 3 of 10

Transformer Attention

AKA: Self-Attention, Scaled Dot-Product Attention

A sequence modeling mechanism that computes pairwise relevance weights across all tokens simultaneously without recurrence.

Machine Learning & Neural Networks FoundationsCard 4 of 10

Regularization

AKA: L1 / L2 Penalty, Weight Decay

Techniques introduced into the objective function to discourage model complexity and prevent overfitting on training data.

Machine Learning & Neural Networks FoundationsCard 5 of 10

Overfitting

AKA: High Variance

A condition where a statistical model fits noise and idiosyncrasies of the training data so closely that its generalization to unseen test data degrades.

Machine Learning & Neural Networks FoundationsCard 6 of 10

Loss Function

AKA: Cost Function, Objective Function

A mathematical function that maps an event or values of one or more variables onto a real number intuitively representing the penalty associated with the event.

Machine Learning & Neural Networks FoundationsCard 7 of 10

Activation Function

AKA: Non-Linearity

A mathematical gate added to artificial neurons (e.g., ReLU, Sigmoid, GELU) to introduce non-linearity into network representations.

Machine Learning & Neural Networks FoundationsCard 8 of 10

ROC-AUC

AKA: Area Under ROC Curve, AUC-ROC

A performance measurement for classification problems at various threshold settings, plotting True Positive Rate against False Positive Rate.

Machine Learning & Neural Networks FoundationsCard 9 of 10

Hyperparameter Tuning

AKA: Model Optimization, Grid / Random Search

The process of optimizing configurations external to the model (such as learning rate, batch size, or layer depth) that are not learned directly from training data.
