+# Neural Network
+
+A neural network - often shortened to NN - is a computational model which is part of so called
+artificial intelligence.
+
+## Useful Tools
+
+There are some useful tools to use with neural networks.
+
+- [Netron](https://github.com/lutzroeder/netron) is a open-source and self-hostable tool to
+  visualize neural networks.
+  It is also easily available from the [official website](https://netron.app/).
+
+## Frameworks
+
+The following is a list of frameworks to design or run neural networks.
+
+- [PyTorch](/wiki/programming_language/python.md#pytorch)
+- [Tensorflow](/wiki/programming_language/python.md#tensorflow)
+
+## Neural Network Accelerators
+
+Neural network accelerators are devices to run neural networks by inference.
+The following is a list of possible devices.
+
+- [Raspberry Pi AI Hat+](/wiki/linux/raspberry_pi.md#ai-hat) is a standalone accelerator which
+  directly attaches to a [Raspberry Pi](/wiki/linux/raspberry_pi.md) via the GPIO header.
+- [ESP32S3](/wiki/microcontroller.md#esp32) is a self-contained microcontroller by Seeed with
+  integrated AI acceleration.
+  It does not need an external connection and is especially useful when a small form-factor is
+  needed.
+- Google Coral Edge TPU is a USB-connected accelerator that is not embedded in the host system.
