inferencing

Reasoning from evidence

Inferencing is the process of drawing conclusions or making predictions based on available information.

In artificial intelligence and machine learning, it refers specifically to running a trained model to generate outputs from new inputs—distinct from training, which is how the model learns in the first place.

The chatbot handles millions of inferencing requests per day.

Outside technical contexts, inferencing describes the cognitive act of reading between the lines or reasoning from evidence.
