ML Fundamentals
Latent Space
The hidden "map" inside an AI where similar concepts are grouped close together, like an internal library organized by meaning.
Definition
The compressed, abstract representation space learned by a model where input data is encoded into meaningful dimensions. Similar items cluster together. Used in autoencoders, VAEs, and embedding models.
Why it matters
Understanding latent spaces is key to debugging generative models and improving search/recommendation quality.

Activation Functions
The "switch" inside a neural network that decides whether a neuron should fire, allowing the AI to learn complex non-linear patterns.
Active Learning
A technique where the AI asks humans to label only the most confusing examples, saving time and money on data labeling.
Anomaly Detection
Finding the "weird" stuff in a dataset, like a credit card charge in a foreign country or a broken machine part.
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)
A hypothetical "super-AI" that can learn and do any intellectual task a human can do, not just one specific thing.
