Core Concepts:

Can clearly explain the purpose and importance of

train/validation/test splits

.

Data Intuition:

Understands "garbage in, garbage out." Can discuss the conceptual importance of data cleaning, normalization, and augmentation.

Evaluation:

Can explain the purpose of common metrics (e.g., accuracy, precision/recall, loss). Can look at a training/validation loss curve and

identify clear overfitting or underfitting

. - Neural Networks (NNs)
-

Core Concepts:

Can intuitively explain the basic components of a neural network (neurons, layers, weights, activation functions) and their purpose.

Training Dynamics:

Understands, at a high level, how a network "learns" via loss functions, gradient descent, and

backpropagation

.

Practical Intuition:

Can conceptually differentiate between training and inference and is familiar with core issues like overfitting and underfitting. - Transformers
-

Motivation:

Understands the motivation for the Transformer architecture (e.g., the limitations of sequential models like RNNs/CNNs for long-range dependencies). +

Core Mechanics:

Can

intuitively

explain the purpose of key components like self-attention, positional encodings, and the encoder-decoder structure. +

Attention Intuition:

Grasps the basic idea of self-attention (how a model learns which words are important to each other) and multi-head attention (looking at a sequence in different "ways").
