SHAP Values

Machine Learning

A subset of AI that enables systems to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed.

Supervised Learning

A machine learning paradigm where models are trained on labelled data, learning to map inputs to known outputs.

Unsupervised Learning

A machine learning approach where models discover patterns and structures in data without labelled examples.

Reinforcement Learning

A machine learning paradigm where agents learn optimal behaviour through trial and error, receiving rewards or penalties.

Multi-Task Learning

A machine learning approach where a model is simultaneously trained on multiple related tasks to improve generalisation.

Online Learning

A machine learning method where models are incrementally updated as new data arrives, rather than being trained in batch.

Batch Learning

Training a machine learning model on the entire dataset at once before deployment, as opposed to incremental updates.

Active Learning

A machine learning approach where the algorithm interactively queries a user or oracle to label new data points.

Ensemble Learning

Combining multiple machine learning models to produce better predictive performance than any single model.

Feature Selection

The process of identifying and selecting the most relevant input variables for a machine learning model.

Epoch

One complete pass through the entire training dataset during the machine learning model training process.

Model Serialisation

The process of converting a trained model into a format that can be stored, transferred, and later reconstructed for inference.

When a model learns the training data too well, including noise, resulting in poor performance on unseen data.

A resampling technique that partitions data into subsets, training on some and validating on others to assess model generalisation.

Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise — a clustering algorithm that finds arbitrarily shaped clusters based on density.

A technique where knowledge gained from training on one task is applied to a different but related task.

A supervised learning algorithm that finds the optimal hyperplane to separate different classes in high-dimensional space.

A regularised regression technique that adds an L2 penalty term to prevent overfitting by constraining coefficient magnitudes.

Bootstrap Aggregating — an ensemble method that trains multiple models on random subsets of data and averages their predictions.

A regularised regression technique that adds an L1 penalty, enabling feature selection by driving some coefficients to zero.
