Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

These flashcards cover fundamental concepts and terminology related to artificial intelligence as introduced in the course.

Artificial Intelligence

The study of programmed systems that simulate human activities such as perceiving, thinking, learning, and acting.

Knowledge Representation

A method to represent information about the world in a form that a computer system can utilize to solve complex tasks.

Search Strategies

Techniques used in AI to navigate through problem spaces or datasets in order to find a solution.

Expert Systems

AI programs that emulate the decision-making ability of a human expert.

Neural Networks

A set of algorithms modeled loosely after the human brain, designed to recognize patterns in data.

Intelligent Agents

Software programs designed to perform specific tasks autonomously.

Machine Learning

A subset of AI that enables systems to learn patterns from data without explicit programming.

Deep Learning

A specialized form of machine learning that uses multilayered neural networks to analyze various levels of data abstraction.

Rational Agents

Agents that act to achieve the best possible outcome based on their understanding of the environment.

Turing Test

A test proposed by Alan Turing in 1950 to evaluate a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to that of a human.

LISP

A high-level programming language specifically designed for AI research and applications.

PROLOG

A programming language associated with artificial intelligence and computational linguistics.

AI Applications
