In technical terms a machine which is using forward and backward propagation to make a approximate prediction [1] is being called a neural network and doesn't matter if I agree or not.
BTW: I use BGFS not gradient descending.

Lol. The word "neural" in the name of the algorithm is infinitely more attractive and inspiring than something abstract like "Support Vector Machine", isn't it? -- although we know that both approaches are much more similar to each other than to any biological neural system. ;-) However, since this is a general mailing list, it may be fair to clarify that this is just a gradient-descent based optimization procedure that we are deadling with here, and that it has nothing to do with a "thinking" general AI. I know that you know this, but not all of our readers may ...
Cheers,
Markus
