Neural Networks — Conceptual Overview
Layers of connected neurons transforming input to output through learned weights — the foundation of deep learning and modern LLMs.

ai_ml intermediate
When an LLM generates confident, plausible-sounding text that is factually incorrect — a fundamental property of next-token prediction, not a bug to be patched away.

ai_ml intermediate
Dense numerical vector representations of text, images, or other data — capturing semantic meaning so that similar items have similar vectors and can be found via distance search.

Large Language Models (LLMs)
2
Neural network models trained on vast text corpora that can generate, summarise, translate, and reason about text — the technology behind ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

Prompt Engineering
1
The practice of designing and iterating on LLM input prompts to reliably produce accurate, useful, and appropriately formatted outputs.
