E
Edge Computing
Processing data near the source of data generation rather than in a centralized data-processing warehouse, reducing latency.
F
Feature Engineering
The process of selecting, modifying, or creating variables (features) that help machine learning models perform better.
H
Hyperparameters
External configurations for machine learning models that are set before training begins, affecting how the model learns.
I
Image Recognition
The ability of AI systems to identify objects, people, places, and actions in images.
K
KPIs (Key Performance Indicators)
Measurable values that demonstrate how effectively a company is achieving key business objectives.
L
Lead Generation
The process of attracting and converting strangers into prospects interested in a company's products or services.
M
Machine Learning (ML)
A subset of AI that enables systems to learn and improve from experience automatically without being explicitly programmed.
Marketing Automation
Using software to automate repetitive marketing tasks, increasing efficiency and personalized communication.
N
Natural Language Generation (NLG)
A subfield of AI that focuses on enabling computers to generate human-like language from data inputs.
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
A field of AI focused on enabling computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language.
Neural Network
A computational model inspired by the human brain's network of neurons, used in machine learning to recognize patterns and solve complex problems.
O
Overfitting
A modeling error in machine learning where a model is too closely fitted to a limited set of data points, reducing its ability to generalize.
P
Personalization
Using AI to tailor content, recommendations, or experiences to individual users based on their preferences and behavior.
Predictive Analytics
Techniques using historical data to predict future events, helping businesses make proactive decisions.
Prospecting
The process of searching for potential customers, clients, or buyers to develop new business.
R
Recommendation Engine
An algorithm that suggests products, services, or information to users based on analysis of data.
Reinforcement Learning
An AI training method where an agent learns to make decisions by taking actions in an environment to achieve maximum cumulative reward.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
Technology that allows users to configure software robots to emulate human actions interacting with digital systems.
ROI (Return on Investment)
A performance measure used to evaluate the efficiency or profitability of an investment.
S
Sales Funnel
A marketing model describing the theoretical customer journey from initial awareness to the purchase decision.
Sentiment Analysis
The use of NLP to determine the emotional tone behind words, useful for understanding customer opinions in text data.
Speech Recognition
Technology that converts spoken language into text, enabling voice-activated systems and dictation tools.
Supervised Learning
A machine learning approach where models are trained on labeled data, learning to predict outputs from given inputs.
T
Transfer Learning
A machine learning method where a model developed for one task is reused as the starting point for a model on a second task.
U
Underfitting
A scenario where a machine learning model is too simple to capture the underlying pattern of the data, resulting in poor performance.
Unsupervised Learning
A type of machine learning that finds hidden patterns or intrinsic structures in input data without pre-existing labels.
V
Virtual Assistant
An AI-powered tool that can perform tasks or services based on user commands or questions, like scheduling or information retrieval.
