Neural Networks Multi-Layer Perceptron A feedforward neural network with multiple layers of perceptrons, capable of learning non-linear functions. Neural Networks Activation Function A non-linear function applied to neuron outputs that introduces non-linearity, enabling networks to learn complex patterns. Foundations Classification A supervised learning task where the model assigns each input to one of a fixed set of categories, such as spam or not spam. Foundations Support Vector Machine A supervised learning algorithm that finds the optimal hyperplane to separate classes with maximum margin.
