Abstract Constructive neural network, a new type of neural network model, can process the largescale data. It has been widely used and deeply studied in recent years. In this paper, the principle of the neural networks is introduced, its property is analyzed and compared with that of other networks, and the research development is summarized. Furthermore, the reasons why the networks have so many advantages are analyzed, the further research is discussed and the application prospect is presented.
