Origin

The A to Z of AI was created by Alex Fazio. It is operated as a Working Group under the auspices of AI Garden and is governed by AI Garden's Committee.

Contributing

Everybody is invited to suggest changes, additions and improvements to The A to Z of AI . We employ a community-driven process to develop and improve upon this shared lexicon. This glossary provides a vendor-neutral platform on which to organize a shared vocabulary around AI and automation. Contributions are welcome from all participants who abide by the project's purpose and charter.

Anyone who wishes to make a contribution, may submit a GitHub issue or create a pull request.

Guidelines

  • To propose specific changes to a glossary entry, edit that entry in your branch and issue a pull request.
  • To request that an entry be clarified, updated or reconsidered, you may alternatively open an issue.
  • To propose a new entry to the glossary, either create an issue or, if you have the definition drafted, add the entry to your branch (in its proper alphabetical location) and create a pull request.

Issues & Pull Requests

  • Please jump in and help us out by reviewing open issues and making pull requests to resolve them.
  • If you see anything you think can be improved, feel free to open an issue or, even, better submit your suggestions via a pull request.
  • Please title your pull requests appropriately, summing up what your commits are about.
  • For new terms, make sure that your entry doesn't already exist somewhere else in the glossary.

Requests:

  • For glossary entry changes and additions, please raise separate pull requests for each entry. This makes it easier to discuss and shepherd updates in self-contained units.
  • Please provide links to third party uses that support your issue or pull request.

Philosophy

  • The A to Z of AI seeks to be concise, including words that are unique to Artificial Intelligence, or which have different meanings when used in an AI context.

Descriptive vs Prescriptive

  • In most circumstances, the definition of a term should be based on empirical evidence of contemporary usage as published in literature, academic articles, talks and white papers.
  • In some cases, a term will suffer from conflation, imprecise usage, or, even worse, outright conflicting defintions. In these cases, the Glossary Committers will consider proposed clarifications or focused definitions on a case-by-case basis.
