Perceptron on Ancient Brain

A demo of a Perceptron finding a line to separate two groups of points.

• Credits:
  • Port of Perceptron from here from "The Nature of Code" (by the "Coding Train").
  • See videos parts one and two.

• On each run, there is a set of points that is linearly separable.
• We achieve this by defining a random (blue) line on each run.
  Points above the line (green) are one class (output should be 1).
  Points below the line (pink) are another class (output should be -1).

• Starts with random perceptron, i.e. random (white) line.
• Perceptron learns by getting output wrong to change until all outputs are right.

• It cycles through the same set of points repeatedly until it classifies them.
• On each cycle it draws the same set of points in the same order.
