Part 2/9:
At its core, the perceptron processes patterns through a series of switches (inputs) that toggle between positive and negative voltages, activating corresponding indicators. Each activated input is multiplied by a dial setting—representing a weight—which collectively influences the final output displayed on a meter. The fundamental task involves configuring these weights (dials) to ensure correct classifications of inputs—outputting a positive signal for one shape and a negative signal for another, despite variations in the positioning of shapes.
