The perceptron and neural networks

The first appearance of artificial neural networks can be traced to the article A logical calculus of the ideas immanent in nervous activity, which was published in 1943 by Warren McCallock and Walter Pitts. They proposed an early model of an artificial neuron. Donald Hebb, in his 1949 book The Organization of Behavior, described the basic principles of neuron training. These ideas were developed several years later by the American neurophysiologist Frank Rosenblatt. Rosenblatt invented the perceptron in 1957 as a mathematical model of the human brain's information perception. The concept was first implemented on a Mark-1 electronic machine in 1960.

Rosenblatt posited and proved the Perceptron Convergence ...
