Foundations

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

A discipline of computer science focused on creating systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence.

Artificial Neural Network (ANN)

A computational model inspired by the human brain, composed of interconnected nodes (neurons) that process information and learn patterns.

Machine Learning (ML)

A subset of AI that allows machines to learn from data and improve their performance on a task over time without being explicitly programmed.

Deep Learning

A specialization of ML that uses neural networks with many layers (deep architectures) to learn complex patterns from large datasets.

Natural Language Processing (NLP)

An area of AI that enables computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language.
