Neural networks are one of the most beautiful programming paradigms
ever invented. In the conventional approach to programming, we tell
the computer what to do, breaking big problems up into many small,
precisely defined tasks that the computer can easily perform. By
contrast, in a neural network we don't tell the computer how to solve
our problem. Instead, it learns from observational data, figuring out
its own solution to the problem at hand.
