Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks

Perceptrons

Perceptron is a machine learning algorithm that helps to provide classified outcomes for computing. It is a kind of a single-layer artificial network with only one neuron and a classification algorithm that makes its predictions based on a linear predictor function combining a set of weights with the feature vector. 

Multilayer Perceptron

Multilayer Perceptron is a class of feed forward artificial neural networks. And the layered feed forward networks are trained by using the static back-propagation training algorithm. For designing and training an MLP perceptron several issues are involved:

• Number of hidden layers is selected to use in the neural network.
• A solution that avoids local minima is globally searched.
• Neural networks are validated to test for overfitting.
• Converging to an optimal solution in a reasonable period of time.
