Domain-specific modelingDomain-specific modeling (DSM) is a software engineering methodology for designing and developing systems, such as computer software. It involves systematic use of a domain-specific language to represent the various facets of a system. Domain-specific modeling languages tend to support higher-level abstractions than general-purpose modeling languages, so they require less effort and fewer low-level details to specify a given system.
Harris affine region detectorIn the fields of computer vision and , the Harris affine region detector belongs to the category of feature detection. Feature detection is a preprocessing step of several algorithms that rely on identifying characteristic points or interest points so to make correspondences between images, recognize textures, categorize objects or build panoramas. The Harris affine detector can identify similar regions between images that are related through affine transformations and have different illuminations.
Réseau de neurones artificielsUn réseau de neurones artificiels, ou réseau neuronal artificiel, est un système dont la conception est à l'origine schématiquement inspirée du fonctionnement des neurones biologiques, et qui par la suite s'est rapproché des méthodes statistiques. Les réseaux de neurones sont généralement optimisés par des méthodes d'apprentissage de type probabiliste, en particulier bayésien.
Méthode itérativeEn analyse numérique, une méthode itérative est un procédé algorithmique utilisé pour résoudre un problème, par exemple la recherche d’une solution d’un système d'équations ou d’un problème d’optimisation. En débutant par le choix d’un point initial considéré comme une première ébauche de solution, la méthode procède par itérations au cours desquelles elle détermine une succession de solutions approximatives raffinées qui se rapprochent graduellement de la solution cherchée. Les points générés sont appelés des itérés.
Public-domain softwarePublic-domain software is software that has been placed in the public domain, in other words, software for which there is absolutely no ownership such as copyright, trademark, or patent. Software in the public domain can be modified, distributed, or sold even without any attribution by anyone; this is unlike the common case of software under exclusive copyright, where licenses grant limited usage rights.
Affine shape adaptationAffine shape adaptation is a methodology for iteratively adapting the shape of the smoothing kernels in an affine group of smoothing kernels to the local image structure in neighbourhood region of a specific image point. Equivalently, affine shape adaptation can be accomplished by iteratively warping a local image patch with affine transformations while applying a rotationally symmetric filter to the warped image patches. Provided that this iterative process converges, the resulting fixed point will be affine invariant.
Open-source licenseOpen-source licenses facilitate free and open-source software (FOSS) development. Intellectual property (IP) laws restrict the modification and sharing of creative works. Free and open-source software licenses use these existing legal structures for the inverse purpose of granting freedoms that promote sharing and collaboration. They grant the recipient the rights to use the software, examine the source code, modify it, and distribute the modifications. These licenses target computer software where source code can be necessary to create modifications.
Apprentissage profondL'apprentissage profond ou apprentissage en profondeur (en anglais : deep learning, deep structured learning, hierarchical learning) est un sous-domaine de l’intelligence artificielle qui utilise des réseaux neuronaux pour résoudre des tâches complexes grâce à des architectures articulées de différentes transformations non linéaires. Ces techniques ont permis des progrès importants et rapides dans les domaines de l'analyse du signal sonore ou visuel et notamment de la reconnaissance faciale, de la reconnaissance vocale, de la vision par ordinateur, du traitement automatisé du langage.
Méthode sans maillageIn the field of numerical analysis, meshfree methods are those that do not require connection between nodes of the simulation domain, i.e. a mesh, but are rather based on interaction of each node with all its neighbors. As a consequence, original extensive properties such as mass or kinetic energy are no longer assigned to mesh elements but rather to the single nodes. Meshfree methods enable the simulation of some otherwise difficult types of problems, at the cost of extra computing time and programming effort.
Symbolic artificial intelligenceIn artificial intelligence, symbolic artificial intelligence is the term for the collection of all methods in artificial intelligence research that are based on high-level symbolic (human-readable) representations of problems, logic and search. Symbolic AI used tools such as logic programming, production rules, semantic nets and frames, and it developed applications such as knowledge-based systems (in particular, expert systems), symbolic mathematics, automated theorem provers, ontologies, the semantic web, and automated planning and scheduling systems.
