- The Perceptron is the first neural network model, developed by Frank Rosenblatt in 1958.
- It is a binary classifier used for supervised learning tasks.
- The perceptron is based on the McCulloch & Pitts neuron model combined with the Hebbian learning rule to adjust weights.
- Unlike the fixed-threshold neuron, perceptron can learn the weights and thresholds from training data.
Structure of Perceptron Model:
A perceptron consists of:
- Inputs (x₁, x₂, …, xₙ)
- Weights (w₁, w₂, …, wₙ)
- Bias (b)
- Net sum calculation
- Activation function (Step Function)

Mathematical Model:
