Perceptron: Basic Neural Network Model

The perceptron is a mathematical model of the biological neuron. It produces binary outputs from input values while taking into consideration weights and threshold values. Though created to imitate the working of biological neurons, the perceptron model has since been replaced by more advanced models like backpropagation networks for training artificial neural networks. Perceptrons use a brittle activation function to give a positive or negative output based on a specific value.
