N
narrow AI (weak AI)
Narrow AI is an application of artificial intelligence technologies to enable a high-functioning system that replicates -- and perhaps surpasses -- human intelligence for a dedicated purpose.
-
natural language generation (NLG)
Natural language generation (NLG) is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) programming to produce written or spoken narratives from a data set.
-
natural language processing (NLP)
Natural language processing (NLP) is the ability of a computer program to understand human language as it’s spoken and written -- referred to as natural language.
-
natural language understanding (NLU)
Natural language understanding (NLU) is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that uses computer software to understand input in the form of sentences using text or speech.
-
neural net processor
A neural net processor is a central processing unit (CPU) that holds the modeled workings of how a human brain operates on a single chip.
-
neural network
A neural network is a machine learning (ML) model designed to mimic the function and structure of the human brain.
-
neural radiance field (NeRF)
Neural radiance fields (NeRF) are a technique that generates 3D representations of an object or scene from 2D images by using advanced machine learning.
-
neuro-symbolic AI
Neuro-symbolic AI combines neural networks with rules-based symbolic processing techniques to improve artificial intelligence systems' accuracy, explainability and precision.
-
neuromorphic computing
Neuromorphic computing is a method of computer engineering in which elements of a computer are modeled after systems in the human brain and nervous system.
-
neurosynaptic chip
A neurosynaptic chip, also known as a cognitive chip, is a computer processor that is designed to function more like a biological brain than a typical central processing unit (CPU).
