Description
There are many topics that repeat throughout the API reference. For each topic, we want to have a separate link that contains more details, instead of duplicating content, or worse, stating the obvious like the following:
- Bias: The predictor's bias term.
- L2Weight: L2 regularization weight for trainer
Table below captures all the topics that we want to cover. These are the topics that apply to many APIs. For example, we have 4 or 5 cross validation extension methods, one per ML task. We can have one page explaining CV, instead of duplicating content.
Some topics already exist in glossary. We need to have a discussion about our linking strategy later. For now let's keep the list here. I suggest using the LinkPlaceholder string (tmpurl_*) in the XMLs, so that we can easily find-replace with the final link.
Topic | Description | In Glossary? | Link Placeholder | Link |
---|---|---|---|---|
Regularization | L1, L2, and other topics related to regularization | no | tmpurl_regularization | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regularization_(mathematics) |
Loss | Loss functions | no | tmpurl_loss | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_function |
Calibration / calibrators | calibrators used for producing probabilities | no | tmpurl_calib | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibration_(statistics) |
Learning rate | what is learning rate in training | no | tmpurl_lr | There's no wikipage talking about learning rate. It's always mixed with SGD or the training algorithm using it. Deleting this since it's not an independent concept. |
