Essentials

How it works

Training adjusts parameters to reduce a loss or increase a reward. The objective, data and optimisation procedure shape what is learned. At inference, the model uses its parameters and available context to compute an output.

Takeaway

Changing instructions changes the input; it does not necessarily retrain parameters. Supervised learning, self-supervised learning and reinforcement learning describe methods, not architectures.
