Concepts behind this area
Computer Vision
Computer vision is the branch of artificial intelligence that turns images and video into structured answers: what is in the frame, where it sits, which pixels belong to it, and where it moves next.
Agentic AI
Agentic AI is software that wraps a language model in a loop where it can request actions from real tools, read what each action returns, and choose the next move until the job is finished or a rule stops it.
MLOps
MLOps is the engineering practice of keeping a trained model useful in production: recording what produced it, serving it, watching for the day its answers stop matching the world, and retraining or reverting before anyone downstream is harmed by the gap.
Data Engineering
Data engineering is the discipline of moving records from the systems that produce them into a store where they can be queried, and of keeping that supply correct while the sources underneath keep changing.
SQL
SQL is the declarative language for asking questions of relational databases: you state which rows and columns you want and how tables relate, and the database engine works out how to retrieve them.
Data Analysis
Data analysis is the practice of interrogating data to answer a specific question, and of establishing how much weight the answer can bear.
