3. Artificial intelligence tools
Here, we present the tools we believe to be the most relevant for estimating thermophysical properties from measurements taken in a photothermal experiment. In what follows, scalar quantities will be designated by italic lower-case letters (e.g. a, b, c...), vectors will be represented by bold lower-case letters (e.g. a, b, c...) while matrices will be designated by bold upper-case letters (e.g. A, B, C...).
3.1 What is artificial intelligence?
This term, first proposed in the 1950s, refers to a field of science concerned with knowledge processing and reasoning.
