Vocabulary About AI And Computer Science Flashcards
What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
The simulation of human intelligence in machines programmed to think, learn, and make decisions.
Define Machine Learning.
A subset of AI that focuses on algorithms enabling computers to learn from data without explicit programming.
What is Deep Learning?
A more advanced branch of machine learning that uses neural networks with many layers to process complex data.
What are Neural Networks?
A computational model inspired by the human brain, consisting of interconnected nodes (neurons) to process information.
What does Natural Language Processing (NLP) deal with?
The interaction between computers and human languages, enabling tasks like translation or sentiment analysis.
What is Computer Vision?
A branch of AI that enables machines to interpret and analyze visual data like images or videos.
Define Algorithm.
A step-by-step procedure or formula for solving a problem or performing a task.
What is Data Mining?
The process of discovering patterns and knowledge from large sets of data.
What is Predictive Modeling?
Using statistical techniques and algorithms to predict future outcomes based on historical data.
What does Automation refer to?
The use of technology to perform tasks with minimal human intervention.
Define Big Data.
Extremely large data sets that are analyzed computationally to reveal patterns, trends, and associations.
What is Cloud Computing?
The delivery of computing services (e.g., storage, servers, databases) over the internet instead of local servers.
What is Cybersecurity?
The practice of protecting systems, networks, and data from digital attacks or unauthorized access.
What is Source Code?
The original code written by a programmer in a programming language, which is later compiled into machine-readable code.
Define Quantum Computing.
A type of computing that uses quantum bits (qubits) and takes advantage of quantum mechanics to process complex computations more efficiently.
What does it mean to Train a Neural Network?
To teach a neural network by feeding it data and adjusting parameters until it produces accurate results.
What is involved in Developing an Algorithm?
To create a structured process or formula to solve a computational problem.
What does it mean to Optimize Performance?
To improve the speed, efficiency, or functionality of a program or system.
What does it mean to Encrypt Sensitive Information?
To convert data into a secure format that cannot be accessed without a key.
What is the purpose of Detecting and Preventing Cyberattacks?
To identify and stop malicious activities targeting systems or networks.
What is State-of-the-art Technology?
The latest and most advanced technology available.
What does it mean to Push the Envelope?
To go beyond the existing boundaries or limits of innovation.
Define Cutting-edge.
Being at the forefront of technological innovation and advancements.
What does it mean to Hit a Bug?
Encounter a programming error or issue in a system.
What is the meaning of Garbage In, Garbage Out (GIGO)?
The quality of AI or system output is determined by the quality of the input data.
What does Plug and Play refer to?
A system or device that is ready to use immediately after connection, requiring no configuration.
What is a Bandwidth Hog?
A person, program, or device that consumes a disproportionate amount of network resources.
