A type of artificial intelligence that can understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a wide range of tasks at a human level or beyond.

Algorithm

Core Concepts

A set of rules or instructions given to an AI system to help it learn and make decisions.

API (Application Programming Interface)

Technical

A set of rules that allows different software applications to communicate with each other, commonly used to access AI services.

Attention Mechanism

Neural Networks

A technique used in neural networks that allows the model to focus on specific parts of the input data when processing information.

Backpropagation

Neural Networks

An algorithm used to train neural networks by calculating gradients and adjusting weights to minimize error.

Bias

Deep Learning

Machine Learning

A subset of machine learning that uses neural networks with multiple layers to learn complex patterns in data.

Embedding

Natural Language Processing

A numerical representation of words, phrases, or other data that captures semantic meaning in a high-dimensional space.

Fine-tuning

Machine Learning

The process of taking a pre-trained model and training it further on specific data to improve performance for particular tasks.

Generative AI

AI Types

AI systems that can create new content such as text, images, music, or video based on learned patterns.

Hallucination

AI Behavior

When an AI system generates false or misleading information that appears plausible but is not based on factual data.

Large Language Model (LLM)

Natural Language Processing

A type of AI model trained on vast amounts of text data to understand and generate human language.

Machine Learning

Core Concepts

A subset of AI that enables systems to learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed.

Model

Core Concepts

A mathematical representation of patterns learned from data that can make predictions or generate outputs.

Natural Language Processing (NLP)

AI Fields

A branch of AI that focuses on enabling computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language.

Neural Network

Neural Networks

A computing system inspired by biological brains, consisting of interconnected nodes that process information.

Overfitting

Machine Learning

When a model learns the training data too well, including noise and irrelevant patterns, leading to poor performance on new data.

Parameters

Neural Networks

The learnable weights and biases in a neural network that are adjusted during training to improve performance.

Prompt

Natural Language Processing

The input text or instructions given to an AI model to guide its response or behavior.

Prompt Engineering

Natural Language Processing

The practice of designing and optimizing prompts to get better results from AI models.

Reinforcement Learning

Machine Learning

A type of machine learning where an agent learns to make decisions by taking actions and receiving rewards or penalties.

Supervised Learning

Machine Learning

A machine learning approach where the model learns from labeled training data to make predictions.

Token

Natural Language Processing

The basic unit of text that an AI model processes, which can be a word, part of a word, or punctuation.

Training Data

Machine Learning

The dataset used to teach an AI model patterns and relationships for making predictions or generating outputs.

Transfer Learning

Machine Learning

A technique where a model trained on one task is adapted for a related task, improving efficiency and performance.

Transformer

Neural Networks

A neural network architecture that uses attention mechanisms to process sequential data, commonly used in language models.

Unsupervised Learning

Machine Learning

A machine learning approach where the model finds patterns in data without labeled examples.

Vector

Technical

A mathematical representation of data points in multi-dimensional space, often used to represent words or concepts.
