Basics

Neural network

A computing system made of layers of connected units whose connection strengths are learned from data.

Loosely inspired by the brain, a neural network passes numbers through layers of simple operations. Training adjusts the strength of each connection, its weights, so the network's outputs match the examples it was shown.
