Write what each word means, using the article.

Do not copy the article. Write two things you learned, the way you would explain them to a friend.

Answers below are taken from the article’s stored facts, so they match what the student read.

1. What is the inspired by?Biological neuroscience, particularly the interconnected structure of neurons in the brain
2. What is the key feature?Utilizes artificial neural networks with multiple processing layers ('deep' architecture)
3. How do deep learning computers learn to recognize pictures?They use Convolutional Neural Networks, which look at pictures in a grid pattern and learn to spot shapes and colors.
4. Why are Transformers good for talking to computers?Transformers can focus on the most important parts of words or sentences, so they help computers translate, chat, and understand language better.

Artificial Neural Network: A computational model inspired by the biological neural networks that constitute animal brains.
