Neural Network

A machine learning model loosely inspired by the brain, made of layers of connected nodes that learn to recognize patterns in data.

Think of it like

Like a huge committee of simple voters, each weighing in only a little, whose combined votes somehow add up to a surprisingly smart decision.

Junior or senior?

Junior sounds like

Name-drops 'neural network' without explaining what it's doing.

Senior sounds like

Can explain what it's actually learning — weights, layers — in plain terms.

Ask them

“How would you explain what a neural network is actually doing to someone non-technical?”
