  2. Genetic algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_algorithm

    In computer science and operations research, a genetic algorithm ( GA) is a metaheuristic inspired by the process of natural selection that belongs to the larger class of evolutionary algorithms (EA). Genetic algorithms are commonly used to generate high-quality solutions to optimization and search problems by relying on biologically inspired ...

  3. Greedy algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm

    A greedy algorithm is used to construct a Huffman tree during Huffman coding where it finds an optimal solution. In decision tree learning, greedy algorithms are commonly used, however they are not guaranteed to find the optimal solution. One popular such algorithm is the ID3 algorithm for decision tree construction.

  4. Feature (machine learning) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_(machine_learning)

    In machine learning and pattern recognition, a feature is an individual measurable property or characteristic of a phenomenon. [1] Choosing informative, discriminating and independent features is a crucial element of effective algorithms in pattern recognition, classification and regression. Features are usually numeric, but structural features ...

  5. Convolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolution

    The term convolution refers to both the result function and to the process of computing it. It is defined as the integral of the product of the two functions after one is reflected about the y-axis and shifted. The integral is evaluated for all values of shift, producing the convolution function.

  6. Evolutionary algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_algorithm

    e. In computational intelligence (CI), an evolutionary algorithm ( EA) is a subset of evolutionary computation, [1] a generic population-based metaheuristic optimization algorithm. An EA uses mechanisms inspired by biological evolution, such as reproduction, mutation, recombination, and selection. Candidate solutions to the optimization problem ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_language

    Japanese (日本語, Nihongo, [ɲihoŋɡo] ⓘ) is the principal language of the Japonic language family spoken by the Japanese people. It has around 120 million speakers, primarily in Japan, the only country where it is the national language, and within the Japanese diaspora worldwide. The Japonic family also includes the Ryukyuan languages ...

  8. Search engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine

    Some engines suggest queries when the user is typing in the search box. A search engine is a software system that provides hyperlinks to web pages and other relevant information on the Web in response to a user's query. The user inputs a query within a web browser or a mobile app, and the search results are often a list of hyperlinks ...

  9. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(computer...

    Function (computer programming) In computer programming, a function, subprogram, procedure, method, routine or subroutine is a callable unit [1] of software logic that has a well-defined interface and behavior and can be invoked multiple times. Callable units provide a powerful programming tool. [2] The primary purpose is to allow for the ...
