Flashcards Listing

reinforcement learning

: an artificial intelligence (AI) training technique based on trial and error that uses positive and negative feedback to teach the AI to perform a desired task in accordance with maximizing positive feedback

biological crop protection

: products used to combat stressors and promote crop health, derived from or inspired by naturally occurring substances and organisms

stop codon disease

: any genetically driven disease that stems from a premature termination codon mutation, which prevent the formation of a complete and functional protein

Network Medicines™

: a new class of therapeutics that reprogram diseased cells to release a defined array of signals that precisely coordinate multicellular networks to drive disease resolution

chill hours

: the accumulated hours of cool winter temperatures that certain fruit and nut trees need during dormancy to prepare for flowering and fruiting in the spring and summer

human microbiome

: the trillions of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, archaea, protozoa, and fungi, that are found within and on the human body

nature-positive agriculture

: growing practices that protect, maintain, and enhance ecosystems

large language model

: a type of mathematical system, inspired by the network of neurons of the human brain, that finds statistical patterns in very large datasets to predict and generate the most probable content following an initial prompt

somatic genomics

: the study of genetic variation found within each cell of a multicellular organism

scope 3 emissions

: greenhouse gas emissions from sources not owned or controlled by an organization, occurring upstream or downstream in its supply chain

soil health

: the capacity of soil to function as a living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals, and people

programmable medicines

: therapeutic modalities based on biological building blocks that can be rationally designed and arranged to achieve a desired effect
