Mafunzo ni mchakato wa kufundisha modeli ya ML kutokana na data (kujifunza muundo, kubadilisha vigezo), wakati hitimisho ni kutumia modeli iliyofunzwa kutengeneza utabiri kwa data mpya. Ni mstages tofauti na tofauti na gharama tofauti.
Mafunzo dhidi ya hitimisho
TRAINING → teaching the model (the LEARNING phase):
→ feed lots of DATA → the model adjusts its parameters to learn patterns
→ computationally EXPENSIVE (lots of data, compute, time — e.g. training an LLM costs
huge resources); done once (or periodically to update)
→ produces a trained MODEL
INFERENCE → using the trained model (the PREDICTION phase):
→ give the trained model NEW input → it produces an output (prediction/generation)
→ much CHEAPER/faster than training (a single forward pass); done MANY times (every
time you use the model)
→ train once (expensive), infer many times (cheaper, in production)
