The same story at six levels

How the first sentence reads at every level, from A1 to C2.

  1. A1

    Scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology studied networks.

  2. A2

    Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology studied artificial neural networks.

  3. B1

    Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have shown how artificial neural networks learn.

  4. B2

    Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have demonstrated that artificial neural networks can build their own learning systems.

  5. C1

    Standard artificial intelligence relies on learning rules designed by engineers, an approach that does not reflect how the human brain learns without an external designer.

  6. C2

    Standard artificial intelligence relies on learning rules designed by engineers, an approach that does not mimic how the human brain learns without an external designer.
