The Map of Artificial Intelligence (2020)

Notice: This map is not a precise reflection of the state of the AI field, but just my subjective representation. This is my first map as of the end of 2020 and will be extended in the future. It contains more than 200 words or phrases, so to describe all of them would be too extensive and overkill. Much more interesting (and useful for me) to tell how this map was gradually building in my head. I will not explain everything, just the main things, so it is normal not to understand something. The story begins in 2013 after I finished my bachelor in applied physics. I was researching heterostructures, something that is in the core of the solid-state lasers that are used for Internet transmission. In short, I was not satisfied, the field is good and perspective but not in Ukraine. So, I decided to write my master thesis in a different field that I will be truly interested in. I had two options and I chose one -- the field of artificial intelligence.
