Abstract

The third part of the series on generative artificial intelligence explains the perceptron as a basic type of artificial neuron. The text builds on the McCulloch–Pitts neuron and shows how Rosenblatt’s perceptron overcomes some of its limitations: it works with real-valued inputs, weights, and a bias, and can be understood as a linear binary classifier. The author describes the computation of a weighted sum, the use of an activation function, and the geometric interpretation of the decision boundary in the plane and in higher-dimensional spaces. The article prepares the ground for further discussion of weight learning and the possibilities and limitations of neural models.
