Recently the few terms related to the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science, are in the news in the context of emerging issues in the field of Information technology.
- Data Dredging:
- It is a statistical manipulation method to find patterns in data, seemingly appearing to be significant but having no underlying effect in reality – resulting in misleading conclusions.
- Air Gap:
- In cyber security, air gap refers to a network security measure of isolating computers or networks from external connections, including the internet.
- Air gaps are typically employed in high-risk scenarios, like classified defence systems, to safeguard data from damage, unauthorised access, and manipulation in cases of system failure or intrusion.
- Mixture of Experts:
- It is a machine learning approach to training by splitting tasks into sub-problems and assigning ‘expert’ models to handle each of them.
- Each expert model predicts the sub-tasks which are then combined to generate the final output.
- OTA Update:
- Over-the-air (OTA) updates are the delivery of new software or firmware features and updates via an internet connection.
- OTA updates provide enhancements to the operating system, system apps on read-only partitions, and time zone rules wirelessly, enabling automatic or manual installation.
