Multi-layer Perceptron
The Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) is a feedforward neural network architecture trained by backpropagation, formalised by Rumelhart, Hinton, and Williams in their landmark 1986 Nature paper. Composed of an input layer, one or more hidden layers of neurons with nonlinear activation functions, and an output layer, the MLP can approximate any continuous function to arbitrary accuracy and serves as the conceptual bridge between classical machine learning and modern deep learning.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
