Research scientists all over the world are taking steps towards building computers with circuits patterned after the complex inter connections existing among the human brain’s nerve cells. What name is given to such type of computers?

A neural network is a method in artificial intelligence that teaches computers to process data in a way that is inspired by the human brain. It is a type of machine learning process, called deep learning, that uses interconnected nodes or neurons in a layered structure that resembles the human brain.

Neural networks are also known as artificial neural networks (ANNs) or simulated neural networks (SNNs), are a subset of machine learning and are at the coreof deep learning algorithms.
