With enough background now under our belt, it’s time to begin our discussion of neural networks. We’ll begin by looking at two of the commonest and simplest neural networks, whose use cases revolve around classification and regression.

Single Layer Perceptron (SLP) Model

The simplest of the neural network models, SLP , was designed by researchers McCulloch and Pitts. In the eyes of many machine learning scientists, SLP is viewed as the beginning of artificial intelligence and provided inspiration in developing other neural network ...
