Ontologies for Business Analysis

Deep learning is machine learning built on neural networks of many stacked layers, which work out for themselves which properties of the raw data matter instead of being handed a list by a person.

Generative AI is the market's name for models whose output is a piece of content, such as text, images, audio, video or code, as opposed to the much larger body of models that sort, score or forecast things that already exist.

Large language models are neural networks trained on a vast quantity of written text to predict the piece of text that comes next, an objective narrow enough to state in a line and broad enough to yield writing, translation, code and summary as side effects.

Data wrangling is the work of repairing and reshaping real records, and of deciding what their gaps and inconsistencies mean, until a table can be trusted with the question being asked of it.

Data visualisation is the practice of encoding numbers as position, length and colour so that a comparison a reader would otherwise have to calculate becomes something they can simply see.

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.
