framework

Definition

A general scheme assembled from several components, as opposed to a single model or loss. A title promising "a framework for X" is announcing a way of organizing a problem — stages, interfaces, roles — rather than a single new technique. The word also names software infrastructure such as PyTorch or JAX. Either way it is nearly contentless on its own, so go to the body to find out what the parts actually are.
