Decision treeA model that makes predictions by asking a series of yes-or-no questions about the data, branching at each step until it reaches an answer.Deep learningMachine learning that uses neural networks with many layers to learn complex patterns directly from raw data.DeepfakeAI-generated video, image, or audio convincing enough to impersonate a real person.DeterministicProduces the same output for the same input every time.Deterministic vs. stochasticDeterministic: run the same computation twice, get the same answer twice. Stochastic: probabilistic output that varies. Hardware demands deterministic. LLMs are stochastic — which is why Encube isolates them from the core math.Diffusion modelsGenerative models that learn to create images and other content by starting from random noise and removing it step by step.Digital replicaThe legal term of art appearing across SAG-AFTRA contracts, California statute, and the NO FAKES Act for a computer-generated representation readily identifiable as a specific person.Dimensionality reductionSimplifying data by cutting the number of variables while keeping the information that matters most.
