Terms from Artificial Intelligence: humans at the heart of algorithms

Page numbers are for draft copy at present; they will be replaced with correct numbers when final book is formatted. Chapter numbers are correct and will not change now.

An hybrid architecture is one where different moduels or layers use different kinds of AI technolgies. For example, we might use a random forest to perform low-level classification (say of human activity in a care setting), and then use these classes in a hand-crafted rule-based system (say "if suspected fall, alert warden").

Used in Chap. 6: pages 92, 93, 94; Chap. 7: page 106; Chap. 12: page 195; Chap. 18: page 303
