Validation: According to the first edition of the EU-U.S. terminology and taxonomy for artificial intelligence, the term “Validation” means: Confirmation by examination and provision of objective evidence that the particular requirements for a specific intended use are fulfilled.
Test and Evaluation, Verification and Validation (TEVV): According to the first edition of the EU-U.S. terminology and taxonomy for artificial intelligence, the term “Test and Evaluation, Verification and Validation (TEVV)” means: A framework for assessing, incorporating methods and metrics to determine that a technology or system satisfactorily meets its design specifications and requirements, and that it is sufficient for its…
Adaptive Learning: According to the first edition of the EU-U.S. terminology and taxonomy for artificial intelligence, the term “Adaptive Learning” means: An adaptive AI is a system that changes its behavior while in use. Adaptation may entail a change in the weights of the model or a change in the internal structure of the model itself. The new behavior of…
Algorithm: According to the first edition of the EU-U.S. terminology and taxonomy for artificial intelligence, the term “Algorithm” means: An algorithm consists of a set of step-by-step instructions to solve a problem (e.g., not including data). The algorithm can be abstract and implemented in different programming languages and software libraries.
Classification: According to the first edition of the EU-U.S. terminology and taxonomy for artificial intelligence, the term “Classification” means: A classification system is a set of “boxes” into which things are sorted. Classifications are consistent, have unique classificatory principles, and are mutually exclusive. In AI design, when the output is one of a finite set of values (such as sunny,…
Federated Learning: According to the first edition of the EU-U.S. terminology and taxonomy for artificial intelligence, the term “Federated Learning” means: Federated learning is a machine learning model which addresses the problem of data governance and privacy by training algorithms collaboratively without transferring the data to another location. Each federated device shares its local model parameters instead of sharing the…
Generative Adversarial Network (GAN): According to the first edition of the EU-U.S. terminology and taxonomy for artificial intelligence, the term “Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)” means: Generative Adversarial Networks, or GANs for short, are an approach to generative modeling using deep learning methods, such as convolutional neural networks. Generative modeling is an unsupervised learning task in machine learning that involves automatically…
Human Values for AI: According to the first edition of the EU-U.S. terminology and taxonomy for artificial intelligence, the term “Human Values for AI” means: Values are idealized qualities or conditions in the world that people find good. AI systems are not value-neutral. The incorporation of human values into AI systems requires that we identify whether, how, and what we…
Human-Centric AI: According to the first edition of the EU-U.S. terminology and taxonomy for artificial intelligence, the term “Human-Centric AI” means: An approach to AI that prioritizes human ethical responsibility, dynamic qualities, understanding, and meaning. It encourages the empowerment of humans in design, use, and implementation of AI systems. Human-Centric AI systems are built on the recognition of a meaningful…
Language Model: According to the first edition of the EU-U.S. terminology and taxonomy for artificial intelligence, the term “Language Model” means: A language model is an approximative description that captures patterns and regularities present in natural language and is used for making assumptions on previously unseen language fragments.
Large Language Model (LLM): According to the first edition of the EU-U.S. terminology and taxonomy for artificial intelligence, the term “Large Language Model (LLM)” means: A class of language models that use deep-learning algorithms and are trained on extremely large textual datasets that can be multiple terabytes in size. LLMs can be classed into two types: generative or discriminatory. Generative…
