artificial neural network

Also known as ANN, neural network, connectionist system, connectionist systems, deep nets, Simulated Neural Network, Static Neural Network, SNN

computational model used in machine learning, based on connected, hierarchical functions

AI overview

An artificial neural network is a computer system made up of many simple functions connected together in layers, designed to learn patterns from data. It matters because this approach has become one of the most effective ways to train computers to recognize images, understand language, and solve other complex problems.

Encyclopedic overview

A neural network is an interconnected group of nodes, inspired by a simplification of neurons in a brain. Here, each blue/green circular node in the hidden and output layers represents an artificial neuron and each red circular node in the far left layer represents an input data value. An arrow represents a connection from the output of one neuron (or data node) to the input of another.

In machine learning, a neural network (NN) or neural net, is a computational model inspired by the structure and functions of biological neural networks.
