This definition explains the meaning of IBM's Watson supercomputer and how businesses can use its cognitive capabilities to build applications serving their own operations.

This definition explains what image recognition is, how it fuctions and its uses.

This definition explains what reinforcement learning is and how the training method is used in unsupervised machine learning to encourage desired behaviors through the application of rewards and penalties. Reinforcement learning is used in operations research, information theory, game theory, control theory, simulation-based optimization, multi-agent systems, swarm intelligence, statistics and genetic algorithms.

This definition explains what supervised learning is in the context of AI and machine learning. We explain what supervised systems do and discuss their applications, including chatbots, expert systems, self-driving cars and robots.

This definition explains the meaning of deep learning and explains how this important aspect of artificial intelligence teaches machines to learn like humans.

This definition explains the meaning of artificial intelligence as a service and how it is used to offer artificial intelligence outsourcing.

This definition explains the meaning of self-driving car, also known as autonomous car or driverless car, and how this type of vehicle uses artificial intelligence technologies to move from one destination to another without the aid of a human driver.

narrow AI: This definition explains what narrow (or weak) AI is and how it compares with strong AI, also known as artificial general intelligence or general-purpose AI. We discuss examples of narrow AI such as IBM's Watson supercomputer and the AI attorney legal expert system.

artificial general intelligence (AGI): This definition explains what artificial general intelligence is and discusses types of systems proposed to demonstrate AGI, like the Turing test and the coffee test. The definition contrasts AGI, also known as strong AI, with weak AI. See also, John Searle's Google talk on consciousness in AI.

Machine vision is the ability of a computer to 'see.' A machine-vision system employs one or more video cameras, analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), and digital signal processing (DSP). The resulting data goes to a computer or robot controller.
