The Perceptron

* The Perceptron is an algorithm invented in 1957 by Frank Rosenblatt, a few years before the first SVM.
* It is widely known because it is the building block of a simple neural network: the multilayer perceptron.
* The goal of the Perceptron is to find a hyperplane that can separate a linearly separable data set.
* Once the hyperplane is found, it is used to perform binary classification.
