The neural network



Example: Neural network processes data using interconnected layers of nodes

Definition


"The neural network" is a computational model inspired by the human brain's structure, consisting of interconnected layers of nodes or neurons that process and analyze complex data patterns to perform tasks such as classification, prediction, and decision-making.

Etymology


The term "the neural network" originates from the analogy to biological neural networks found in animal brains. 'Neural' relates to nerves or neurons, and 'network' refers to a system of interconnected elements. The phrase was adopted in computer science during the mid-20th century as researchers sought to mimic brain functions.
