Neural networks are computer systems which mimic the workings of the brain.

神经网络是模仿大脑运行的计算机系统。

《柯林斯英汉双解大词典》

Indeed, the names of major subfields of computer science-such as artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms, and evolutionary computation-attest to the influence of biological analogies.

说实话，在计算机科学的一些主要分支学科的命名上就可以看出生物学的影子，譬如人工神经网络，遗传算法和进化计算法等等。

We now have computer viruses, neural networks, Biosphere 2, gene therapy, and smart CARDS — all humanly constructed artifacts that bind mechanical and biological processes.

而今我们有了电脑病毒，神经网络，生物圈二号，基因治疗法以及智能卡——所有这些人工构造的产品，联接起了机械与生物过程。

Neural networks are computer programs that, as their name suggests, behave rather like nerve cells in an animal's brain.

ECONOMIST: The learning home

Its reaction with the odour molecules changes a detector's electrical resistance, and this signal is fed into a neural net (the closest that computer technology has got to imitating the pattern-recognising abilities of networks of nerve cells) to work out what is being smelt.
