Neural Network
AI systems loosely inspired by how the human brain processes information.
In Plain English
A Neural Network is a type of AI system made up of interconnected nodes (like simplified brain cells) organized in layers. Information flows through these layers, with each node performing simple calculations. Together, they can recognize complex patterns in data. Neural networks power most modern AI applications, from voice assistants to image generators.
💡Real-World Example
When your phone recognizes your face to unlock, it's using a neural network trained on millions of facial images.
