Neural Network
Computing system designed to simulate the way human brains analyze and process information, using a network of interconnected nodes that work together to solve specific problems.
Generality: 932
Connectionist AI
Set of computational models in AI that simulate the human brain's network of neurons to process information and learn from data.
Generality: 900
Feed Forward
Essential structure of an artificial neural network that directs data or information from the input layer towards the output layer without looping back.
Generality: 860
Actor-Critic Models
'Reinforcement learning architecture that includes two components: an actor that determines the actions to take and a critic that evaluates those actions to improve the policy.'
Generality: 705
MLP
Multilayer Perceptron
Multilayer Perceptron
Type of artificial neural network comprised of multiple layers of neurons, with each layer fully connected to the next, commonly used for tasks involving classification and regression.
Generality: 775
Backpropagation
Algorithm used for training artificial neural networks, crucial for optimizing the weights to minimize error between predicted and actual outcomes.
Generality: 890
Subsymbolic AI
AI approaches that do not use explicit symbolic representation of knowledge but instead rely on distributed, often neural network-based methods to process and learn from data.
Generality: 900
RNN
Recurrent Neural Network
Recurrent Neural Network
Class of neural networks where connections between nodes form a directed graph along a temporal sequence, enabling them to exhibit temporal dynamic behavior for a sequence of inputs.
Generality: 892
Hidden Layer
Layer of neurons in an artificial neural network that processes inputs from the previous layer, transforming the data before passing it on to the next layer, without direct exposure to the input or output data.
Generality: 861
Forward Propagation
Process in a neural network where input data is passed through layers of the network to generate output.
Generality: 830
Function Approximator
Computational model used to estimate a target function that is generally complex or unknown, often applied in machine learning and control systems.
Generality: 806
Node
A fundamental unit within a neural network or graph that processes inputs to produce outputs, often reflecting the biological concept of neurons.
Generality: 500
Recognition Model
Element of AI that identifies patterns and features in data through learning processes.
Generality: 790
Activation Data
Intermediate outputs produced by neurons in a neural network when processing input data, which are used to evaluate and update the network during training.
