Inside the Mind of a Perceptron: Watch It Learn!
If you are like me who just wanted to learn about LLMs without learning about the simplest unit of neural networks, the perceptron, then this article is for you!
💡TL;DR
- •A Perceptron computes a weighted sum and applies a threshold.
- •It learns a linear decision boundary using a simple update rule.
- •It can't solve non-linear problems like XOR — and that's okay!
