Deep Neural Network

Acronym: DNN

A deep neural network (DNN) is a type of ANN, but is classified as 'deep' because it has a greater depth of layers than some other neural networks. These layers perform the mathematical translation tasks that allow raw data to be translated into meaningful output. Additional layers allow for slightly different translations to be performed in each layer with the intention of further refining the output.
