Across
- 3. a slender predatory insect with a triangular head, which waits motionless for prey with its large forelegs folded like hands in prayer.
- 4. either of two small wingless parasitic insects that live on the skin of mammals and birds.
- 6. a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer.
- 9. an insect with a hard shell-like back.
- 10. a large insect with a long, thin, brightly coloured body and two pairs of transparent wings.
- 12. a very small jumping insect that feeds on the blood of animals and humans.
- 13. the representation of information in the form of a chart, diagram, picture, etc.
- 15. a brown or black insect that makes short, loud noises by rubbing its wings together.
- 16. is data that contains greater variety, arriving in increasing volumes and with more velocity. This is also known as the three Vs.
- 18. the common name of various species of flying insects belonging to the order Diptera.
- 19. a branch of mathematics dealing with the collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of masses of numerical data
- 21. is the process of using bots to extract content and data from a website.
- 22. predict or estimate (a future event or trend).
- 23. set of functions and procedures allowing the creation of applications that access the features or data of an operating system, application, or other service.
- 24. an insect with wings that is similar to a butterfly, usually flies at night, and is attracted to light
- 25. an operation that associates each element of a given set (the domain) with one or more elements of a second set (the range).
- 26. a stinging winged insect which collects nectar and pollen, produces wax and honey, and lives in large communities.
- 27. is the process of fixing or removing incorrect, corrupted, incorrectly formatted, duplicate, or incomplete data within a dataset.
- 28. the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.
Down
- 1. is the process of sorting through large data sets to identify patterns and relationships that can help solve business problems through data analysis.
- 2. is the process of gathering and measuring information on variables of interest, in an established systematic fashion that enables one to answer stated research questions, test hypotheses, and evaluate outcomes.
- 5. a type of insect with large, often brightly coloured wings
- 7. any of various beetles that destroy crops such as grains and cotton
- 8. the practice of analysing large databases in order to generate new information
- 11. a flying insect, often black and yellow, that can sting (= produce a small, painful skin injury)
- 13. a type of machine learning based on artificial neural networks in which multiple layers of processing are used to extract progressively higher level features from data.
- 14. a small, pale soft-bodied insect that lives in large colonies with several different castes, typically within a mound of cemented earth. Many kinds feed on wood and can be highly destructive to trees and timber.
- 15. a flat, brown or black insect sometimes found in the home.
- 17. a large insect with long back legs that can jump very high and makes a sharp, high noise using its back legs or wings.
- 20. a small insect typically having a sting and living in a complex social colony with one or more breeding queens. It is wingless except for fertile adults, which form large mating swarms
- 24. the use and development of computer systems that are able to learn and adapt without following explicit instructions, by using algorithms and statistical models to analyse and draw inferences from patterns in data.
