Name entity recognition

Named Entity Recognition (NER) in AI is a subtask of information extraction that focuses on identifying and classifying named entities mentioned in unstructured text into predefined categories such as the names of persons, organizations, locations, dates, and more. NER is essential for various natural language processing (NLP) applications, including question answering, document summarization, and sentiment analysis. The process of Named Entity Recognition typically involves the following steps: 1. Tokenization The text is divided into individual words or tokens. 2. Part-of-Speech (POS) Tagging  Each token is tagged with its part of speech (e.g., noun, verb, etc.), which helps in identifying named entities based on their syntactic context. 3. Named Entity Classification Using machine learning algorithms, each token is classified into a predefined category (e.g., person, organization, location, etc.) based on features such as the token itself, its context, and its part of speech. 4....

Reinforcement learning

Reinforcement learning (RL) is a subset of machine learning where an agent learns to make decisions by interacting with an environment. The agent learns from the consequences of its actions, receiving rewards or penalties, and uses this feedback to improve its decision-making over time. RL is inspired by behavioral psychology, where learning is based on trial and error, with the goal of maximizing cumulative reward. Key components of reinforcement learning include: 1. Agent  The learner or decision-maker that interacts with the environment. The agent takes actions based on its policy (strategy) to maximize its cumulative reward. 2. Environment  The external system with which the agent interacts. It responds to the agent's actions and provides feedback in the form of rewards or penalties. 3. State  The current configuration or situation of the environment. The state is used by the agent to make decisions about which actions to take. 4. Action  The set of possible choi...
