Definition
ML identifying objects, faces or text in images, usually with neural networks trained on many labelled images.
Example: Detect faces in photos.
Found in: syllabus, sample exam and familiarisation guidelines, school notes.
Where you'll use it in the test
Syllabus area: Y12 Software Automation.
Question types it can appear in
- Short answer: Define, outline or explain it and tie it to the scenario.
- Extended response: Use it as a supporting point linked to the stimulus.
- Multiple choice: Pick the option that matches the definition or example.
How to use it
A model sentence
“ML identifying objects, faces or text in images, usually with neural networks trained on many labelled images.” Then apply it: Detect faces in photos.
In a short answer, give the definition in your own words first, then tie it to the situation in the question. Do not copy the example above unless it fits the scenario.
Command words used with it
No linked question shows the command word for this term. Across the past short answer and extended response questions in this bank the words used most are: Explain, Outline, Describe, Compare, Classify, Analyse. Check the actual word in your question.
