YOLOv5

YOLOv5 is a family of open-source, real-time object detection models written in PyTorch and first released in 2020 by Ultralytics, a company founded by Glenn Jocher, licensed under AGPL-3.0.

General

YOLOv8

YOLOv8 is a single-stage deep learning model for object detection released by Ultralytics in January 2023, which also ships pretrained models for segmentation, classification, and pose estimation.

General

You Only Look Once

You Only Look Once (YOLO) is a family of real-time object detection systems in which one neural network predicts bounding boxes and classes from a full image in a single pass.

General

Z-transform

The z-transform, also known as the bilateral z-transform or z-transformation, converts a discrete-time signal into a complex function, serving as the discrete-time counterpart of the Laplace transform.

General

Zarr (data format)

Zarr is an open specification for storing chunked, compressed, N-dimensional typed arrays in any key/value store, with JSON metadata, used widely in climate science, bio-imaging, and geospatial data.

General

Zebra optimization algorithm

The zebra optimization algorithm (ZOA), also known as zebra optimization, is a nature-inspired metaheuristic mimicking zebra foraging and anti-predator behavior, introduced in IEEE Access in 2022.

General

ZenML

ZenML is an open-source MLOps framework for production ML and LLM pipelines: Python steps compose into DAG pipelines, artifacts are versioned, and infrastructure is abstracted behind configurable stacks.

General

Zenodo

Zenodo is a free, open repository run by CERN with OpenAIRE where researchers share datasets, software, and publications of any size, each receiving a DOI since its 2013 launch.

General

Zero-copy cloning

Zero-copy cloning creates instant logical copies of tables, schemas, databases, or files by copying only metadata or pointers; Snowflake, Fabric, Databricks, YugabyteDB, OpenZFS, and ReFS implement it with copy-on-write divergence and point-in-time variants.

General

Zero-ETL

Zero-ETL: data integration without manually built ETL pipelines, using managed CDC replication or federated querying. Led by AWS (Aurora-to-Redshift, announced 2022, GA November 7, 2023); latency seconds to minutes; limited to same-cloud, simple-replication cases.

General

Zero-shot anomaly detection

Zero-shot anomaly detection (ZSAD) is a machine learning approach that detects and localizes anomalies in a target domain without labeled training examples, exploiting knowledge from pretrained models such as CLIP.

General

Zero-shot learning

Zero-shot learning, also called zero-data learning, is a machine learning setting where a model classifies classes with no labeled training examples using auxiliary semantic information.

General

ZeroEyes

ZeroEyes is an American security technology company near Philadelphia, founded in 2018 by Navy SEALs, whose AI flags brandished guns on existing security cameras for verification, mainly in schools.

General

Zeroing neural network

The zeroing neural network, also known as the Zhang neural network, is a recurrent neural network that solves time-varying problems such as matrix inversion and Sylvester equations.

General

Zoox (company)

Zoox, also known as Amazon Zoox, is an American autonomous vehicle company in Foster City, California, acquired by Amazon in 2020 for about $1.2 billion.
