  1. Machine Learning ✓ understood

    Building systems that learn patterns from data instead of following hand-written rules, getting better at a task as they see more examples.

  2. Neural Network ✓ understood

    A computational model inspired by biological neural networks, consisting of interconnected nodes (neurons) organized in layers that process information through weighted connections.

  3. Boltzmann Machine ✓ understood

    A stochastic recurrent neural network that can learn probability distributions over binary data.

  4. Restricted Boltzmann Machine ✓ understood

    A simpler variant of Boltzmann machines with no intra-layer connections, used for unsupervised learning and dimensionality reduction.

Neural Networks Boltzmann Machine A stochastic recurrent neural network that can learn probability distributions over binary data. Training Pre-training Training a model on a large dataset (often self-supervised) before fine-tuning on specific tasks, enabling transfer learning. Neural Networks Autoencoder An unsupervised neural network that learns to compress data into a latent representation and reconstruct it, useful for dimensionality reduction. Neural Networks Deep Learning A subset of machine learning that uses neural networks with multiple layers (deep neural networks) to learn hierarchical representations of data.
