deweighting
Lessening the burden
Deweighting is reducing the importance or influence of something in a calculation, analysis, or decision.
In finance, to deweight a sector means to allocate less of a portfolio to it than a benchmark would suggest.
In statistics and machine learning, deweighting certain data points diminishes their effect on results.
The term extends to any deliberate reduction of emphasis: The algorithm deweights older content in favor of recent posts.
