neural network
noun
: a computer architecture in which a number of processors are interconnected in a manner suggestive of the connections between neurons in a human brain and which is able to learn by a process of trial and error
called also neural net

Recent Examples on the Web In a study published last year, a team at the University of Glasgow used the genomes of hundreds of viral species to train a neural network to predict a virus’s ability to infect humans. 
Matthew Hutson, The New Yorker, 2 Sep. 2022 Neural RF SLAM trains a neural network to predict the 3D device location from channel state information. Karl Freund, Forbes, 21 June 2022 No one—not Blake Lemoine, not Erik Brynjolfsson, not Gary Marcus—can be fully certain about what a highly complex artificial neural network is or is not experiencing internally. Rob Toews, Forbes, 24 July 2022 Others feed a neural network — an algorithm system modeled after the human brain’s neurological activity — with music preferences based on bands or digital sounds that then create compositions of melodies and rhythm patterns. Paul Herrera, Rolling Stone, 27 July 2022 The easiest catchphrase is to call this neuro-symbolic AI, meaning a combining of the artificial neural network (ANN) underpinnings within Deep Learning in conjunction with the symbolic AI. Lance Eliot, Forbes, 19 May 2022 The neural network—a type of AI setup designed to mimic the architecture of the human brain—was initially trained in a simulation. Amit Katwala, Wired, 16 Feb. 2022 To generate this huge number, Wishart and his colleagues deployed a neural network, a kind of machine learning that is loosely modeled on the human brain, and which is often used for analyzing human languages.
