Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education: AI Vocabulary

1.  Artificial Intelligence (AI) - the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are designed to think and act like humans.
    
2.  Machine Learning (ML) - a subfield of AI that focuses on the development of algorithms that allow computers to learn from and make predictions on data.
    
3.  Neural Network - a type of machine learning algorithm modeled after the structure and function of the human brain.
    
4.  Deep Learning - a type of machine learning that uses neural networks with multiple layers to analyze and make decisions on complex data.
    
5.  Natural Language Processing (NLP) - a branch of AI that focuses on the interaction between computers and humans using natural language.
    
6.  Robotics - the branch of engineering that deals with the design, construction, and use of robots.
    
7.  Computer Vision - a field of study focused on enabling computers to interpret and understand visual information from the world.
    
8.  Expert System - a computer program that uses AI techniques to imitate the decision-making abilities of a human expert.
    
9.  Big Data - large and complex datasets that traditional data processing techniques cannot handle.
    
10.  Reinforcement Learning - a type of machine learning where an agent learns to make decisions by performing actions and receiving rewards or penalties.
    
11.  Chatbot - a computer program designed to simulate conversation with human users.
    
12.  Decision Tree - a type of algorithm used in machine learning to model decisions and their consequences.
    
13.  Genetic Algorithm - a type of optimization algorithm that uses principles of natural selection and genetics to find solutions to problems.

15.  K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) - a type of algorithm used in machine learning for classification and regression analysis.
    
16.  Naive Bayes - a type of algorithm used in machine learning for classification and prediction.
    
17.  Gradient Descent - a optimization algorithm used in machine learning to minimize the cost function of a model.
    
18.  Backpropagation - a process used in training neural networks to update the weights and biases of the network.
    
19.  Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) - a type of neural network used for image and video recognition.
    
20.  Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) - a type of neural network used for processing sequential data, such as time series or natural language.
    
21.  Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) - a type of neural network used for generative modeling, such as creating realistic images or videos.
    
22.  Autoencoder - a type of neural network used for unsupervised learning, such as dimensionality reduction or anomaly detection.
    
23.  Transfer Learning - a technique in machine learning where a model trained on one task is fine-tuned for a different but related task.
    
24.  Hyperparameter - a parameter in machine learning that is set before training a model and cannot be learned from the data.
    
25.  Overfitting - a problem in machine learning where a model performs well on the training data but poorly on new data, due to memorization rather than generalization.
