Convolution
1800

Convolution

Mathematical operation used in signal processing and image processing to combine two functions, resulting in a third function that represents how one function modifies the other.

Generality: 870

Fourier Analysis
1822

Fourier Analysis

Mathematical method for decomposing functions or signals into their constituent frequencies.

Generality: 816

Negative Feedback
1868

Negative Feedback

Control mechanism where the output of a system is fed back into the system in a way that counteracts fluctuations from a setpoint, thereby promoting stability.

Noise
1936

Noise

Irrelevant or meaningless data in a dataset or unwanted variations in signals that can interfere with the training and performance of AI models.

Generality: 735

Deterministic
1937

Deterministic

System or process is one that, given a particular initial state, will always produce the same output or result, with no randomness or unpredictability involved.

Generality: 775

Cybernetics
1948

Cybernetics

Interdisciplinary study of control and communication in living organisms and machines.
