Neural networkA neural network can refer to a neural circuit of biological neurons (sometimes also called a biological neural network), a network of artificial neurons or nodes in the case of an artificial neural network. Artificial neural networks are used for solving artificial intelligence (AI) problems; they model connections of biological neurons as weights between nodes. A positive weight reflects an excitatory connection, while negative values mean inhibitory connections. All inputs are modified by a weight and summed.
Jeu de simulationvignette|FlightGear 3.0 Boeing 777-200 cockpit.png FlightGear 3.0, screenshot from cockpit view using low specs. Un jeu de simulation est un jeu (de société ou vidéo) qui reproduit une activité ou une action dans divers environnements. Les plus populaires sont les jeux économiques ou de gestion et les jeux de rôle. Lorsque la simulation porte sur une guerre ou une bataille réelle ou fictive, on parle plutôt de jeu de stratégie ou jeu de guerre dont le jeu de figurines est une forme de représentation.

ComputationA computation is any type of arithmetic or non-arithmetic calculation that is well-defined. Common examples of computations are mathematical equations and computer algorithms. Mechanical or electronic devices (or, historically, people) that perform computations are known as computers. The study of computation is the field of computability, itself a sub-field of computer science. The notion that mathematical statements should be ‘well-defined’ had been argued by mathematicians since at least the 1600s, but agreement on a suitable definition proved elusive.
OrdinateurUn ordinateur est un système de traitement de l'information programmable tel que défini par Alan Turing et qui fonctionne par la lecture séquentielle d'un ensemble d'instructions, organisées en programmes, qui lui font exécuter des opérations logiques et arithmétiques. Sa structure physique actuelle fait que toutes les opérations reposent sur la logique binaire et sur des nombres formés à partir de chiffres binaires.
Types of artificial neural networksThere are many types of artificial neural networks (ANN). Artificial neural networks are computational models inspired by biological neural networks, and are used to approximate functions that are generally unknown. Particularly, they are inspired by the behaviour of neurons and the electrical signals they convey between input (such as from the eyes or nerve endings in the hand), processing, and output from the brain (such as reacting to light, touch, or heat). The way neurons semantically communicate is an area of ongoing research.
Theory of computationIn theoretical computer science and mathematics, the theory of computation is the branch that deals with what problems can be solved on a model of computation, using an algorithm, how efficiently they can be solved or to what degree (e.g., approximate solutions versus precise ones). The field is divided into three major branches: automata theory and formal languages, computability theory, and computational complexity theory, which are linked by the question: "What are the fundamental capabilities and limitations of computers?".
Méthode de saisievignette|Saisie logiciellement assistée de caractères chinois. Une méthode de saisie, également méthode d'entrée (de l'input method), est un programme ou un composant d'un système d'exploitation qui permet aux utilisateurs d'un ordinateur de saisir des caractères complexes et des symboles, tels que les caractères chinois, l'alphabet coréen, le système d'écriture japonais ou ceux de langues d'origine indienne (sanskrit, tamoul, tibétain, etc.), à l'aide d'un clavier occidental classique.
Model of computationIn computer science, and more specifically in computability theory and computational complexity theory, a model of computation is a model which describes how an output of a mathematical function is computed given an input. A model describes how units of computations, memories, and communications are organized. The computational complexity of an algorithm can be measured given a model of computation. Using a model allows studying the performance of algorithms independently of the variations that are specific to particular implementations and specific technology.
Verre de spinvignette|Représentation schématique d'une structure aléatoire d'un verre de spins (haut) et d'un état ferromagnétique (bas). Les verres de spin sont des alliages métalliques comportant un petit nombre d'impuretés magnétiques disposées au hasard dans l'alliage. À chaque impureté est associée un spin. Le couplage entre ces différents spins peut être plus ou moins intense - attractif ou répulsif - en fonction de la distance qui les sépare.
Training simulationIn business, training simulation is a virtual medium through which various types of skills can be acquired. Training simulations can be used in a variety of genres; however they are most commonly used in corporate situations to improve business awareness and management skills. They are also common in academic environments as an integrated part of a business or management course. The word simulation implies an imitation of a real-life process, usually via a computer or other technological device, in order to provide a lifelike experience.
ComputingComputing is any goal-oriented activity requiring, benefiting from, or creating computing machinery. It includes the study and experimentation of algorithmic processes, and development of both hardware and software. Computing has scientific, engineering, mathematical, technological and social aspects. Major computing disciplines include computer engineering, computer science, cybersecurity, data science, information systems, information technology, digital art and software engineering.
