Machine learning The recognition of data through identified patterns. (Bansal et al., 2020)
Convolutional neural network (CNN) A deep learning algorithm that targets AI systems designated in the segregation of multimedia information (i.e. video, audio, and images) (Salman et al., 2020)
Supervised learning Data comprehension through the use of cataloged data. (Hussain et al., 2020)
Unsupervised learning Data comprehension through the use of uncatalogued data.
Natural language processing (NLP) The encoding of accumulated data obtained through natural linguistics and dialogue.
