Parameter

A learnable weight in a neural network that is adjusted during training to minimize loss.

In more detail

Parameters are the values that define the behavior of a neural network. Each neuron has weights and biases that are parameters. Millions or billions of parameters enable complex learning. Larger models have more parameters but require more computation and data.

Examples

  • Weights in a dense layer
  • Biases in neurons
  • Filter values in CNNs
  • Attention weights in Transformers
