Deep Learning
Deep learning uses a digital structure inspired by the interconnected web of cells inside the human brain. This structure is called an Artificial "this."
What is a Neural Network?
This incredibly famous AI chatbot, created by OpenAI, is an LLM that can write essays, solve math word problems, and write poetry in seconds.
What is ChatGPT?
This two-letter abbreviation stands for computer systems built to mimic human cleverness and decision-making.
What is AI?
Generative AI doesn't just analyze data; its main job is to do this 6-letter word, which means to make something entirely brand new.
What is Create (or Generate)?
Instead of writing strict code rules, humans give an ML program thousands of examples to study. Scientists call these examples by this 4-letter word.
What is Data?
To make a neural network "deep," computer scientists stack many of these virtual structures on top of each other, allowing the computer to process information in stages.
What are Layers?
LLMs don't actually understand the meaning of words the way humans do. Instead, they operate like a super-powered version of this smartphone keyboard feature, guessing the most likely next word in a sentence.
What is Auto-correct (or Predictive Text)?
In movies, we often see "Strong AI" like C-3PO or Wall-E who can think exactly like humans. However, the AI we use today on our phones is called "Weak" or this type of AI, because it can only do one specific job at a time.
What is Narrow AI?
This is the short text instruction, question, or sentence a human types into a Generative AI to tell it what to draw or write.
What is a Prompt?
This type of machine learning is like studying with flashcards because a human "teacher" provides the data along with the correct answers or labels.
What is Supervised Learning?
This technology is used by self-driving cars and photo apps to let computers "see" and recognize objects, pedestrians, and stop signs in a digital image.
What is Computer Vision?
Before an LLM can talk to you, it has to read a massive chunk of the internet, including millions of books and articles. This early school-like phase is called the "this" phase.
What is the Training phase?
This smart assistant built by Apple relies on AI to understand your voice when you ask it to set an alarm or play a song.
What is Siri?
Popular Gen AI tools like Midjourney or DALL-E 3 specialize in creating this specific type of media based on a kid's text description.
What are Images (or Pictures/Art)?
In this type of machine learning, the robot acts like an explorer and groups data together into "clusters" entirely on its own without a teacher's help.
What is Unsupervised Learning?
While regular computers use CPUs, Deep Learning requires these special, powerful computer chips that were originally designed to make high-end video game graphics run smoothly.
What are GPUs (Graphics Processing Units)?
This is the specific field of AI that focuses on giving computers the ability to read, speak, and translate human languages.
What is NLP (Natural Language Processing)?
This British mathematician came up with a famous "Imitation Game" test in 1950 to see if a human judge could tell the difference between talking to a person or a computer.
Who is Alan Turing?
Sometimes a Generative AI gets confused and confidently invents a fact or a detail that is completely false. Scientists call this spooky mistake by this term.
What is a Hallucination?
This type of machine learning is how computers learn to master video games. It uses a system of virtual "rewards" (points) and "penalties" (losing points) to teach the robot the best moves.
What is Reinforcement Learning?
When a deep learning model changes its internal math settings slightly to get better at a task during training, it is adjusting these specific mathematical "weights."
What are Parameters/Limitations?
This critical "architecture" breakthrough invented by Google in 2017 allowed LLMs to look at an entire sentence all at once and pay special "attention" to how words relate to each other.
What is a Transformer?
To avoid making an AI that is unfair, computer scientists have to make sure they practice this 6-letter word, ensuring the computer treats all groups of people equally.
What is Ethics?
This type of AI model pits two neural networks against each other—one tries to create fake images, and the other tries to catch the fakes—until the images look completely real.
What is a GAN (Generative Adversarial Network)?
ML algorithms look for specific clues—like the shape of an animal's ear or the texture of its fur—to tell things apart. Scientists call these specific clues by this term.
What are Features?
