Training data is the initial dataset used to train a machine learning model, helping it discover patterns, learn features, and make predictions. It forms the foundation of the model-building process, where algorithms adjust their internal parameters based on the input examples. In typical machine learning workflows, training data is used in conjunction with validation and test datasets to evaluate and refine the model's performance.

    Limited training data was a major cause of slow AI progress.

    “So we conjectured that the lack of data was a huge part of the reason, that's the lack of progress in AI.”
