Multi-Layer-Perceptron

The Multi-Layer-Perceptron was first introduced by M. Minsky and S. Papert in 1969.

It is an extended Perceptron and has one ore more hidden neuron layers between its input and output layers.

Due to its extended structure, a Multi-Layer-Perceptron is able to solve every logical operation, including the XOR problem.
