ground truth The observations used in the machine learning (ML) model training process
that include the correct value for the target attribute. To train an ML model to
predict house sales prices, the input observations would typically include prices

HMAC Hash-based Message Authentication Code. A specific construction for calculating
a message authentication code (MAC) involving a cryptographic hash function in
combination with a secret key. You can use it to verify both the data integrity and

standard, cryptographic hash algorithm, such as SHA-256.
hosted zone A collection of resource record (p. 148) sets that Amazon Route53 (p. 113)
