MLPs grew out of an effort to improve single-layer perceptrons, which could only be applied to linearly separable data. A perceptron traditionally used a Heaviside step function as its nonlinear activation function. However, the backpropagation algorithm requires that modern MLPs use continuous activation functions such as sigmoid or ReLU. [8]
The perceptron algorithm is also termed the single-layer perceptron, to distinguish it from a multilayer perceptron, which is a misnomer for a more complicated neural network. As a linear classifier, the single-layer perceptron is the simplest feedforward neural network .
A multilayer perceptron (MLP) is a misnomer for a modern feedforward artificial neural network, consisting of fully connected neurons (hence the synonym sometimes used of fully connected network (FCN)), often with a nonlinear kind of activation function, organized in at least three layers, notable for being able to distinguish data that is not ...
An autoencoder, autoassociator or Diabolo network [8]: 19 is similar to the multilayer perceptron (MLP) – with an input layer, an output layer and one or more hidden layers connecting them. However, the output layer has the same number of units as the input layer. Its purpose is to reconstruct its own inputs (instead of emitting a target value).
The Gamba perceptron machine was similar to the perceptron machine of Rosenblatt. Its input were images. The image is passed through binary masks (randomly generated) in parallel. Behind each mask is a photoreceiver that fires if the input, after masking, is bright enough. The second layer is made of standard perceptron units.
For the algorithm and the corresponding computer code see. [14] The theoretical result can be formulated as follows. Universal approximation theorem: [ 14 ] [ 15 ] — Let [ a , b ] {\displaystyle [a,b]} be a finite segment of the real line, s = b − a {\displaystyle s=b-a} and λ {\displaystyle \lambda } be any positive number.
Radial basis function (RBF) networks typically have three layers: an input layer, a hidden layer with a non-linear RBF activation function and a linear output layer. The input can be modeled as a vector of real numbers x ∈ R n {\displaystyle \mathbf {x} \in \mathbb {R} ^{n}} .
The second covers three-layer series-coupled perceptrons: the mathematical underpinnings, performance results in psychological experiments, and a variety of perceptron variations. The third covers multi-layer and cross-coupled perceptrons, and the fourth back-coupled perceptrons and problems for future study.
