AI Glossary

A comprehensive encyclopedia of artificial intelligence and context management terminology — with definitions, in-depth articles, and authoritative sources.

Artificial General Intelligence

Also known as: AGI, Strong AI, Human-Level AI

A hypothetical form of AI that possesses the ability to understand, learn, and apply intelligence across any intellectual task that a human being can, exhibiting flexibility and adaptability across domains.

Core Concepts

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Also known as: AI, Machine Intelligence

The simulation of human intelligence processes by computer systems, including learning, reasoning, self-correction, and the ability to perform tasks that typically require human cognition.

Core Concepts

Deep Learning

Also known as: DL, Deep Neural Networks

A subset of machine learning based on artificial neural networks with multiple layers (deep architectures) that can learn hierarchical representations of data for complex pattern recognition.

Core Concepts

Embeddings

Also known as: Vector Embeddings, Text Embeddings, Semantic Embeddings

Dense numerical vector representations of data (text, images, audio) that capture semantic meaning, enabling similarity comparisons and machine learning operations in a continuous vector space.

Core Concepts

Large Language Model

Also known as: LLM, Foundation Model, Language Model

A type of AI model trained on vast amounts of text data that can understand, generate, and manipulate human language, typically based on the transformer architecture with billions of parameters.

Core Concepts

Machine Learning

Also known as: ML

A subset of artificial intelligence that enables systems to learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed, using algorithms that identify patterns in data.

Core Concepts

Natural Language Processing

Also known as: NLP, Computational Linguistics

A field of AI focused on enabling computers to understand, interpret, generate, and meaningfully interact with human language in both text and speech forms.

Core Concepts

Tokens

Also known as: Token, Subword Token, BPE Token

The basic units of text that language models process, typically representing words, subwords, or characters. Token counts determine context window usage and API costs.
