Semantic networks

Semantic networks are like a map that helps computers understand how words or ideas are related to each other. They are like webs of words or thoughts that computers can use to help figure out what people mean when they type or say something. Semantic networks can be used to help machines understand how language works. For example, a machine might be able to understand that the word “dog” is connected to the words “bark” and “puppy” and the idea of an animal.
