Key Concepts & Glossary: Hugging Face Intelligence
Dimensionality Reduction
Dimensionality Reduction is the process of reducing the number of input variables (features) in a dataset while retaining as much relevant information as possible. It is used to simplify models and visualize high-dimensional datasets.
DPO
Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) is a model alignment technique that bypasses the complex reward-model training phase of RLHF. DPO optimizes the policy directly on preference datasets (chosen vs. rejected responses) using a simple binary cross-entropy loss.
F1 Score
The F1 Score is a statistical metric used to evaluate a classification model's accuracy. It is calculated as the harmonic mean of precision (exactness) and recall (completeness), making it ideal for datasets with imbalanced classes.
Feature
A Feature is an individual, measurable property or input variable used by a machine learning model to make predictions. In tabular datasets, features correspond to columns (e.g. square footage, age of home).
