uniform

Definition

Even, with no part of a range favored: a uniform distribution assigns equal probability to each outcome in the discrete case, and equal density across the interval in the continuous one. In practice the word usually names the naive baseline — sample uniformly, initialize uniformly, weight every training example the same. It is typically what a proposed method improves on, since real data is skewed and treating rare and common cases identically wastes capacity.
