Question
What is a neural network?
Answer
Layers of simple units joined by weighted connections. Numbers in, numbers out; training adjusts the weights.
Question
What are neural networks good at?
Answer
Modelling complex, non-linear relationships, and generalising from their training to inputs they have not seen.
Question
Why is a trained network a black box?
Answer
It holds millions of weights, not rules. There is no line to point at and no sentence to read out.
Question
The word to avoid
Answer
“Thinks”. Say it models a relationship — the guide's own wording, and it keeps the answer defensible.
