If we could stop using the term Neural Networks in relation to computing, that would be great. Computers don't have neurons.

- BinaryIdiot 11y agoThere are artificial and biological neural networks. The artificial one is based upon the biological one. Therefore dropping the 'artificial' or 'biological' seems fine to me.
- nye2k 11y agoThis is practical, however I strongly disagree with this semantically. The term should always be accompanied with 'artificial' or another name should be invented as they are vastly different fields. Search Neural Network, I assure you that you will no longer find biological information; it is littering.

- ska 11y agoIf we get hung up on every abuse of terminology we run into, nobody will get anything useful done. At this point the name is well established. If it makes you feel better, just remember to tag "artificial" on to the beginning, nobody will mind.
