Study Notes

Speech Recognition

Speech recognition is a technology where computers recognize human language.
It's supposed to replace keyboards, but keyboard and mouse use is still preferred for convenience.

Natural Language Understanding

Systems are being developed to understand and respond to natural human language.
This aims for computers to interact with people without specialized knowledge.
Current progress is proving challenging.

Computer Vision

Computer vision involves computers making decisions based on images and physical objects.
It aims to replicate human visual perception in computers, but there are limitations.

Expert Systems

Expert systems program computers for real-life decisions like symptom diagnosis.
Early promises weren't met, but they assist humans in areas like medicine and engineering.
Primarily useful in specific circumstances.

Heuristic Classification

Heuristic classification is a feasible type of expert system.
Classifies information into categories based on multiple sources (e.g., credit card approvals).

Intranet and Extranet

An intranet is a private network within an organization sharing information and resources.
