agentive technology
Agentive technologies are machines that do things on the users' behalf while allowing them to turn attention elsewhere. For example, Roomba vacuums work without humans vacuuming;
assistive technology
Assistive technologies are machines that help users complete a real time task, by supporting us making decisions. For example, the Amazon Echo Alexa will play a song requested.
Watson Discovery Service
IBM API that allows users to feed large amounts of structured and unstructured data into the Watson engine, generate an AI-generated analysis of concepts, keywords, and trends from that data, and then search against those concepts, keywords, and trends for insights and answers.
Watson Knowledge Studio
IBM API that enables users and subject-matter experts to teach the Watson AI engine the language of a particular domain (e.g., elementary education), without the need for a developer or coding skill set.
reverse image search
a Google search that tells you where an image is located on the web
expert systems
a computer system designed similarly to the decision-making ability of a human expert.
virtual human
a computer-generated moving image of a human being. May also be referred to as a Digital Human
avatar
a graphical representation of a particular person in video games, Internet forums, websites, etc.
design thinking
a methodology used by many designers to solve complex problems and find innovative solutions.
data mining
a multidisciplinary skill that uses machine learning, statistics, AI, and database technology. Data mining looks for hidden, valid, and potentially useful patterns in huge data sets.
CAPTCHA
a program or system intended to distinguish human from machine input, typically used on websites.
API - application program interface
a set of functions and procedures allowing the creation of applications that access the features or data of an operating system, application, or other service
algorithm
a step-by-step procedure for calculations, used for data processing and automatic reasoning.
deep learning
a subset of machine learning in which multilayered neural networks learn from vast amounts of data.
neural networks
a system of hardware and/or software patterned after the operation of neurons in the human brain
project based learning
a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging, and complex question, problem, or challenge. (BIE definition)
Turing test
a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligence comparable to a human; the ability to determine the difference between a machine and a human.
virtual facilitator
an avatar, or virtual human taking on teaching responsibilities.
voice experience
an interaction with a device that recognizes, processes, and responds to natural language.
chatbots
computer programs that carry on a conversation with a human via text and/or speech while convincingly passing as a human.
artificial intelligence
computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence
machine learning
giving a computer a set of data and getting it to "learn" it without using any kind of program or instructors
____ is the most common machine learning
image recognition
big data
large data sets that can be analyzed through data mining to reveal patterns, trends, and associations.
manual machines
requires humans to operate
image understanding
the ability to extract features from images to match features with models.
IoT- Internet of things
the extension of Internet connectivity into physical devices & everyday objects.
voice recognition
the identification of a voice that is speaking the words.
natural language processing
the interactions between computers and humans using natural language, in particular the programming of computers to effectively process large amounts of natural language data
machine perception
the process of acquiring, interpreting, selecting and organizing sensory information
speech recognition
the recognition and translation of words by computers.
four Vs of big data
volume, velocity, variety, value
