Brain.js: Neural Networks In JavaScript
A neural network is “a mathematical model or computational model that tries to simulate the structure and/or functional aspects of biological neural networks” according to Wikipedia. Basically, a neural network carries out pattern recognition, very much like the human brain would. The user of the network trains it, and then it can be used with varying levels of accuracy depending on the amount of training that it has received.
