The text input you give to an AI model to direct its behavior. A good prompt sets context, provides examples, and specifies the desired output format. The prompt is the user's primary interface with the model. Zero-shot prompting gives no examples; few-shot gives some; chain-of-thought asks for reasoning.
The art and science of crafting inputs to AI models to get the best possible outputs.
The ability of a model to learn a new task from just a handful of examples, often provided in the prompt itself.
A model's ability to perform a task it was never explicitly trained on, with no examples provided.
A mathematical function applied to a neuron's output that introduces non-linearity into the network.
An optimization algorithm that combines the best parts of two other methods — AdaGrad and RMSProp.
