8.1 Introduction: ADALINE and Least Squares Problems

This chapter introduces the well-known concept of linear neural network, in particular, the one made up of one neuron. In literature, it is called with the acronym ADALINE, which historically has two meanings; firstly introduced as ADAptive Linear Neuron, it changed its name when neural networks were less studied because of the attack of the famous book of Minsky and Papert [1] and got its name “ADAptive LINear Element” [2]. With respect to the general neural network model, the ADALINE, in its simplest form, consists only of the adaptive linear combiner, and its ...
