It is just a “figure of speech,” but perhaps we would understand better if we used the correct words in the field of artificial intelligence.

Here is yet another article about “building” a neural network. It is a good article that explain neural networks well. It shows some sample source code to do so. I like it.

All except this concept of “building.” This does not show how to “build” a neural network. It shows how to simulate one in software.

I would love to see someone build a neural network. That requires hardware (much of it analog, not digital). An actual neural network built by someone would be a joy to see (at least for me).

Until that joyous day, we will simulate them in software. I know, it’s just a figure of speech, but perhaps, just perhaps…
