Flerskiktsperceptrons

Flerskiktsperceptrons, often abbreviated as MLP, are a class of artificial neural networks. They are distinguished by having at least three layers of nodes: an input layer, one or more hidden layers, and an output layer. Each node in one layer is connected to every node in the next layer, forming a fully connected network. The connections between nodes have associated weights, which are adjusted during the training process.

The process of learning in a flerskiktsperceptron typically involves a supervised learning approach, most commonly using backpropagation. During training, the network is presented with input data and corresponding desired outputs. The network processes the input through its layers, generating an output. The difference between the network's output and the desired output is calculated as an error. This error is then propagated backward through the network, and the weights of the connections are adjusted to minimize this error. This iterative process allows the MLP to learn complex patterns and relationships within the data.

Flerskiktsperceptrons are capable of approximating any continuous function, a property known as universal approximation. This makes them versatile for a wide range of tasks, including classification, regression, and pattern recognition. Examples of applications include image recognition, natural language processing, and time series forecasting. The number of hidden layers and the number of neurons in each layer are hyperparameters that need to be determined for optimal performance on a given task.
