Study Notes

Algorithms

Algorithms are not a programming language, but rather methods of analysis and thinking that enable one to write code correctly.
They provide a systematic approach to solving problems and making decisions.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI is the ability of computer programs to mimic human mental abilities, such as learning, reasoning, and decision-making.
It involves the development of systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, and language translation.

Subfields of AI

Natural Language Processing (NLP)
- Deals with understanding and analyzing natural language texts.
- Enables interaction between computers and humans using natural language.
- Involves converting spoken words to text, storing and processing the text, and generating human-like responses.

Human-Computer Interaction

Requires two essential components: speech recognition and text-to-speech synthesis.
Enables humans to interact with computers using natural language, rather than traditional input methods like keyboards or mice.

Studying That Suits You

Use AI to generate personalized quizzes and flashcards to suit your learning preferences.
