Key Terms in the Field of Artificial Intelligence

Binary Tree – a tree data structure where each node has at most two nodes (left and right nodes) and a data element. The topmost node of the tree is the root node. Bayes' Theorem – named after 18th century British mathematician Thomas Bayes, it is a formula for determining conditional probability Eigenvalue – any number such that a given matrix minus that number times the identity matrix has zero determinant. Eigenvector - a vector which when operated on by a given operator gives a scalar multiple of itself. Fourier transform – named after French mathematician Joseph Fourier, it's a method for converting a time function into one expressed in terms of frequency
