Glossary of terminologies used in Artificial intelligence.
| Terminology | Description |
|---|---|
| Machine Learning (ML) | The process by which an algorithm encodes statistical regularities inherent in a database of examples, into parameter weights for future predictions |
| Supervised Learning | Training a machine learning algorithm by means of previously expert labelled training examples. |
| Unsupervised Learning | When machine learning algorithm discovers hidden patterns or data groupings without the need for human intervention. |
| Model | A trained machine learning algorithm, ready to make predictions from unseen data. |
| Training | Feeding a machine learning algorithm with examples from a training dataset so that it can derive useful parameters for future predictions. |
| Artificial Neural Network | A machine learning technique that processes information in an architecture comprising of a large number of layers, each layer extracting desired parameters incrementally from training data. |
| Deep Neural Network (DNN) | A deep learning architecture with multiple layers between input and output layers. |
| Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) | A class of DNN that display connectivity patterns that are analogous to that of the connectivity patterns and image processing in visual cortex. |
| Black Box | Human inability to explain the precise steps leading to the model's predictions, due to complex maze of parameters that is inscrutable to humans. |
