We are the Alan Turing Institute, the UK’s national institute for data science and artificial intelligence.
- There is a lot of jargon in #datascience and #AI. Every day over the next 26 days, in the lead-up to #AIUK, we’ll be tweeting an A-Z of key names and terms (plus a few pop culture references), with the aim of demystifying some of the lingo. Welcome to ‘A is for algorithm’.
