Sparse Attention
Models & ArchitectureAn attention mechanism that selectively computes relationships between a subset of input tokens rather than all pairs, reducing quadratic complexity in transformer models.
AI Alignment
Safety & GovernanceThe research field focused on ensuring AI systems act in accordance with human values, intentions, and ethical principles.
Weak AI
Foundations & TheoryAI designed to handle specific tasks without possessing self-awareness, consciousness, or true understanding of the task domain.
Artificial Superintelligence
Foundations & TheoryA theoretical level of AI that surpasses human cognitive abilities across all domains, including creativity and social intelligence.
Neural Scaling Laws

Speculative Decoding
Models & ArchitectureAn inference acceleration technique where a small draft model generates candidate token sequences that are verified in parallel by the larger target model.
Backward Chaining
Reasoning & PlanningAn inference strategy that starts with a goal and works backward through rules to determine what facts must be true.
Strong AI
Foundations & TheoryA theoretical form of AI that would have consciousness, self-awareness, and the ability to truly understand rather than simulate understanding.
