AI • Machine Learning • Tech on Instagram: "A multilayer perceptron (MLP) is the term used for a "basic" neural network. It can be used to recognize handwritten digits when trained on the MNIST dataset. The network starts by taking each handwritten digit image and flattening it into a vector of pixel values. This vector is passed through one or more fully connected layers, where linear transformations followed by nonlinear activation functions (ReLU, sigmoid) allow the network to learn increasin
