Single Layer Perceptron (SLP)

Simplest Possible Neural Network from Scratch

A Single Layer Perceptron (SLP) is a feed-forward neural network made up of only two layers the input and output layer. "Single Layer" may seem deceiving, but it is considered single as there is only one vector of weight(s).
