Multilayer Perceptron/Evidence
Method evidence record

Multilayer Perceptron

A Multilayer Perceptron is a classic fully connected feedforward neural network trained with the backpropagation algorithm, as formalised by Rumelhart, Hinton & Williams in their landmark 1986 Nature paper. Composed of an input layer, one or more hidden layers of neurons, and an output layer, the MLP learns nonlinear mappings from input features to target outputs and serves as the foundational building block of modern deep learning.
