Le perceptron est l'une des architectures des réseaux de neurones les plus simples[. Son architecture] est formée de deux couches : une couche d'entrée et une couche de sortie. La couche d'entrée représente les neurones d'entrée qui permettent de sortir les mêmes entrées fournies. La couche de sortie représente un type de neurone artificiel différent des autres, appelé «unité linéaire à seuil (ULS)» [...] Chaque neurone ULS est connecté à toutes les neurones d'entrées et aussi à un neurone particulier appelé «neurone de biais» dont la sortie est toujours égale à 1 (neurone de terme constant). 1, record 1, French, - unit%C3%A9%20lin%C3%A9aire%20%C3%A0%20seuil
