Church-Turing Thesis
The Church-Turing Thesis is a hypothesis that posits any computational problem that can be solved by an algorithm can be solved by a Turing machine.
134 plain-language definitions from the TiorAI glossary, filed under AI Fundamentals. Every entry opens with a one-sentence definition, then explains where the term is used.

Connectionism is a theoretical framework for understanding cognitive processes through the use of artificial neural networks.
Constraint Satisfaction is a problem-solving approach used to find solutions that meet a set of constraints or conditions.
Context is the surrounding information, conditions, or background that gives meaning to data, content, communication, or decisions.
Context engineering is the practice of deliberately designing, structuring, and supplying the right background information so AI systems can generate accurate, relevant, and reliable outputs.
Cybernetics is the interdisciplinary study of systems, control, and communication in animals, machines, and organizations.
Data annotation is the process of labeling data so it can be used to train, test, and evaluate machine learning and AI models.
Data labeling is the process of adding meaningful tags or annotations to raw data so it can be used to train machine learning models.
Data Science is the interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms, and systems to extract insights and knowledge from structured and unstructured data.
A dataset is a structured collection of data used to train, test, analyze, or evaluate algorithms, models, or systems.
Decision Theory is a field of study that examines the principles and methods used to make choices among alternatives.
A Digital Twin is a virtual representation of a physical object or system that is used to optimize performance and predict outcomes.
Dimensionality Reduction is the process of reducing the number of random variables under consideration by obtaining a set of principal variables.
A Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) is a graph structure used to model data and processes where edges have a direction and cycles are not allowed.
Distributed Computing is a model where multiple computer systems work together to complete complex tasks, often over a network.
Edge refers to computing that occurs at or near the source of data generation, rather than relying on a centralized data-processing warehouse.
Edge Computing is a distributed computing paradigm that brings computation and data storage closer to the location where it is needed, improving response times and saving bandwidth.
