AI & Machine Learning Terminology every Beginner should Know

 

In the past few decades, the field of computer science have broadened its horizons ten folds due to the introduction of a vast array of technological advances. Out of which the most prominent ones has to be Artificial Intelligence and machine learning. Both are interconnected technologies that have been gaining much popularity among bright data scientists by fulfilling their career aspirations.

The magnificent world of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning consists of various technical terms that I will be adding in an abbreviated format in this blog. The abbreviation glossary is widely used in the data science community and hence will act as a minor dictionary especially for beginners. So, without any further ado, here is the list of AI and machine learning terminology that every beginner should know.

The following tabular format comprises of general terms specific to techniques, processes and various areas of both AI and machine learning fields.
