beam search
Beam search is a way for an AI model to build an output while keeping several promising partial choices in play.
benchmark contamination
Benchmark contamination occurs when evaluation tasks, answers or related information become available to the AI system being tested.
bimanual robot
A bimanual robot is a robot with two coordinated arms that can manipulate an object or environment using both effectors.
block-sparse attention
Block-sparse attention divides a token sequence into blocks and computes attention for only selected blocks, making long-context processing more efficient than dense full attention.
bootstrap resampling
Bootstrap resampling estimates uncertainty by repeatedly drawing replacement samples from observed data and recalculating a statistic.
brand consistency

capability measurement
Capability measurement evaluates which tasks an AI system can perform, under what conditions, and with what degree of reliability.
causal event chain
A causal event chain records which earlier event or action caused each later event in a workflow.
causal inference
