Perception et compréhension
De l'IA qui interprète le monde, par le texte, l'image ou le son.
Qu'est-ce que « Perception et compréhension » ?
Cette catégorie regroupe les systèmes d'IA qui captent, interprètent ou perçoivent des données de leur environnement, en imitant des sens humains : la vue, l'ouïe, le toucher, l'odorat et la compréhension du langage. Ces capacités forment le socle de la perception d'une IA : elles lui permettent d'extraire du sens d'entrées non structurées — texte, images, vidéo, audio ou signaux environnementaux.
| Sous-catégorie | Description | Exemples |
|---|---|---|
| Compréhension du langage — traitement automatique du langage naturel (TALN) | Comprendre et produire du langage humain | Agents conversationnels, résumé de documents |
| Vision par ordinateur | Comprendre des images, des vidéos et des données spatiales | Détection d'objets, analyse d'imagerie satellitaire, identification d'espèces |
| Reconnaissance de la parole | Convertir de l'audio en texte | Transcription automatique, commandes vocales pour assistants virtuels |
| IA multimodale | Combiner des types d'entrées (texte et images, etc.) | Légendage d'images, outils de compréhension de documents |
| IA olfactive (reconnaissance artificielle des odeurs) | Détecter et interpréter des odeurs à l'aide de nez électroniques | Détection de fuites de gaz, détection d'altération, identification de polluants en laboratoire |
| IA haptique (perception artificielle du toucher) | Interpréter le toucher et le retour tactile | Échantillonnage robotisé, détection de pression, texture, température |
| Détection d'événements sonores | Reconnaître des sons autres que la parole | Chants de mammifères marins, alertes mécaniques, anomalies de bruit moteur |
| IA de fusion de capteurs | Combiner plusieurs entrées sensorielles | Navigation de véhicules sous-marins autonomes, surveillance d'habitats |
