The Perceptron
The first machine that learned to recognize patterns from examples rather than from explicit rules. A simple device that adjusted internal weights when it made a mistake, gradually getting better at separating one kind of input from another.
Why it matters
This is the seed. Every layer of every modern neural network is, at its core, a many-times-multiplied perceptron. Understanding its capabilities and its 1969 collapse is necessary context for why deep learning had to wait 50 years.
