28 Neural Network (NNets) Models..computing systems vaguely inspired by the biological neural networks that constitute brains[1] The neural network itself is not an algorithm, but rather a framework for many different machine learning algorithms to work together and process complex data inputs.[2] Such systems "learn" to perform tasks by considering examples, generally without being programmed with any task-specific rules.
