Intelligent Systems Course Overview

A comprehensive set of vocabulary flashcards based on the Intelligent Systems course lecture notes, covering key concepts and definitions to aid student review and exam preparation.

Intelligence

The set of processes that enables us to provide basis for judgement, making decisions, and predictions.

Reasoning

The process of reaching a solution, which may include decision-making.

Learning

Gaining knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught, or experiencing.

Modelling

The representation of a system using processes like mathematics and visualization to understand its behavior and predict future states.

Optimisation

The process of making something as effective or functional as possible, typically involving adjustments to parameters to minimize or maximize an objective.

Machine Learning

A field that combines optimization, statistics, and linear algebra to enable systems to learn from data.

Classification

The task of predicting the category or class of new data points based on a model trained on existing data.

Clustering

The grouping of a set of objects in such a way that objects in the same group are more similar to each other than to those in other groups.

Deep Learning

A subset of machine learning involving neural networks with many layers that learn from vast amounts of data.

Reinforcement Learning

An area of machine learning where an agent learns to make decisions by taking actions in an environment to maximize cumulative reward.

Supervised Learning

A machine learning paradigm where a model is trained on a labeled dataset.

Unsupervised Learning

A machine learning paradigm where the model is trained on data without labeled responses.

Neural Networks

Computational models inspired by the human brain that are used in machine learning tasks to recognize patterns in data.

AI in Power System

Applications of artificial intelligence in managing and optimizing electric power systems.

Demand Forecasting

The process of predicting future demand for energy consumption based on historical data and statistical analysis.

Virtual Power Plants (VPPs)

A system that integrates various distributed energy resources to function as a single power plant.

Dynamic Operating Envelopes

AI systems that adjust solar energy exports to manage local grid conditions.

GenAI

Generative AI that helps create code and produce written content, emphasizing the importance of understanding and verification.
