**TLDR:** The structural tendency that determines which kinds of patterns a model is naturally more likely to learn.

<p>Inductive bias is the quiet but powerful force that determines what kind of generalizations a model will draw from data. Local-pattern assumptions in CNNs, content-based relation building in Transformers, and sequential dependence in RNNs are all examples. In deep learning, success often comes not only from data or optimization, but from applying the right inductive bias to the right problem. It is one of the key concepts explaining the theoretical importance of architecture design.</p>
