But some engineer out there understands how your phone works. With neural nets NOBODY really understands how they work.

- Nadya 11y agoMaybe my understanding of neural networks is wrong... but I'm under the impression they work from weighted criteria. With enough weight an answer is selected as being the most likely. A well-trained neural network has enough data to weight options and pick with high accuracy. Then again, this is essentially black magic to me: http://hplusmagazine.com/2015/02/26/ai-masters-classic-video-games-without-being-told-the-rules/ http://hplusmagazine.com/2015/02/26/ai-masters-classic-video...

- Quiark 11y agoA trained neural network is like a horrible huge spaghetti code ball you've inherited after a programmer ran over by a bus that for some miraculous reason happens to be working mostly correctly. However, you won't be able to understand why or how it works. That also means you won't be able to modify/improve/fix it using systematic methods. Only trial and error and it will be 'error' most of the time.
