The A to Z of AI

AI terms, from “Alignment” to “Zero-Shot Prompting”, explained in plain English

This glossary is a knowledge base that aims to make Artificial Intelligence (AI) concepts accessible and understandable to a wide audience. 🌟 Our mission is to break down complex AI concepts and make them understandable for everyone, regardless of their technical background. 🎓💡

In this repository, you'll find:

• 📚 Clear and concise explanations of essential AI terms and concepts
• 🖼️ Engaging visuals, diagrams, and interactive elements to enhance learning
• 💻 Code snippets and examples to bridge theory and practice
• 🔍 Reliable citations and references to dive deeper into each topic
• 🌐 Open-source collaboration to ensure the glossary stays up-to-date and accurate

Style Guide ✒️

Each entry in the glossary MUST include the following at a minimum:

1. Concise explanation - as short as possible, but no shorter
2. Citations - Papers, Tutorials, etc.

Excellent entries will also include:

1. Visuals - diagrams, charts, animations, images
2. Code - python/numpy snippets, classes, or functions
3. Equations - Formatted with Latex

Reasonably Substantive and Accurate

Entries must be both reasonably substantive as well as reasonably accurate. This means that entries should be:

• Substantive and well-researched (i.e. not one-liners or otherwise uninformative)
• Accurately portray the state of research and the relevant literature (i.e. not inaccurate, misleading or false)

Goal 🎯

The goal of the glossary is to present content in the most accessible way possible, with a heavy emphasis on visuals and interactive diagrams. That said, in the spirit of rapid prototyping, it's okay to to submit a "rough draft" without visuals or code. We expect other readers will enhance your submission over time.
