Define: Artificial Intelligence
A field of computer science dedicated to the study of computer software making intelligent decisions, reasoning, and problem solving.
Define: Machine Learning
A field of AI focused on getting machines to act with being explicitly programmed to do so.
Define: Natural Language Processing
The ability of computers to understand, process, and derived meaning from natural human language.
Define: Data Mining
A process for discovering useful patterns within large sets of data.
Define: Deep Learning
A field of ML where specialised algorithms are used to model and understand complex structures and relationships within datasets.
Define: Big Data
When the size (volume, variety, or velocity) of data creates challenges for data processing.
Define: Neural Network
A ‘brain-like’ model that is trained through interaction cycles.
Define: Intelligent Agent
Anything capable of perceiving its environment and acting. Eg:
Human agent
Robot agent
Software agent
Generic agent

Briefly explain the relationship between: machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence
Deep learning is a subfield of machine learning, which is a subfield of artificial intelligence.
AI has been around since the 1950s, ML since the 1980s and DL since 2010s.
What are the four types of learning utilised by machine learning?
Supervised - training data includes labels
Unsupervised - training data is unlabeled
Semisupervised - only some of the training data is labelled
Reinforcement - Action sequences are rewarded
Name some common machine learning applications
Spam detection
Language translation
Image search
Text summarising
Face detection
What is Human intelligence?
Human intelligence: mental quality that consists of the abilities to learn from experience, adapt to new situations, understand and handle abstract concepts, and use knowledge to manipulate one’s environment.
