Terms from Artificial Intelligence: humans at the heart of algorithms

Page numbers are for draft copy at present; they will be replaced with correct numbers when final book is formatted. Chapter numbers are correct and will not change now.

Reparameterisation is where one transforms the parameters that describe a problem or solution space in such a way that preserves information, but may be easier to process or learn from. For example, changing a date represented as DD/MM/YYY into seconds since 1970 in order to facilitate rapid comparisons.
