Fields, Tasks and Modalities

المجالات والمهام والوسائط

This part covers the traditional fields, tasks and modalities of AI: language, speech, vision, search, planning, retrieval, time series, robotics and localization. It deals with classical and specialized tasks and their associated modalities, whereas foundation models are studied as a distinct phenomenon in Part 5, and sectors in Part 10.
