Most elegant: The Perceptron algorithm. Developed back in the 50s by Rosenblatt and colleagues, this extremely simple algorithm can be viewed as the foundation for some of the most successful ...

The machine was called the ‘Mark I Perceptron’. It was designed for image recognition and had a camera linked to 20×20 cadmium sulfide photocells to make a 400-pixel image randomly connected to the ...

A team of Italian researchers successfully ran a perceptron algorithm on a real, working quantum computer using IBM's cloud-access Q Experience system.
