Neural Networks

« Back to Glossary Index

Neural networks are a type of artificial intelligence inspired by how the human brain works. They consist of layers of nodes (“neurons”) that process and learn from data by identifying patterns. Neural networks are the foundation of many AI tools, including writing assistants like Copilot. In educational settings, they help power systems that generate text, recognize images, and provide personalized feedback. While the underlying structure is complex, the key idea is that neural networks improve as they are exposed to more data, making their outputs more accurate over time.
