Introduction In this and some of the following posts, I’ll be trying something a little bit different (and a little more aligned with the original intent of this site). I’m going to be writing about perceptrons and the perceptron learning algorithm. The perceptron learning algorithm was developed by Frank Rosenblatt in the late 1950s, making it one of the oldest machine learning algorithms.
I’m tentatively planning four posts on this topic: the first will provide some background and context, explaining what the “perceptron” is and what motivated its development.
