1943. First biological and artificial approximation

Neurophysiologist Warren McCulloch and


mathematician Walter Pitts wrote a paper on how
neurons might work. In order to describe how
neurons in the brain might work, they modeled a
simple neural network using electrical circuits.

1943. Logic Units with Threshold

Using McCulloch-Pitts model we can says our first


artificial neuron approximation also called LUT. The
inputs could be either a zero or a one.

1949. Donald Hebb wrote The Organization of Behavior

Donald Hebb wrote The Organization of Behavior, a


work which pointed out the fact that neural pathways
are strengthened each time they are used, a concept
fundamentally essential to the ways in which humans
learn. If two nerves fire at the same time, he argued, the
connection between them is enhanced.

~ 1950

As computers became more advanced in the 1950's, it


was finally possible to simulate a hypothetical neural
network. The first step towards this was made by
Nathanial Rochester from the IBM research laboratories.
Unfortunately for him, the first attempt to do so failed.

Around this time, Frank Rosenblatt, a psychologist at


Cornell, was working on understanding the
comparatively simpler decision systems present in the
eye of a fly, which underlie and determine its flee
response. In an attempt to understand and quantify this

First known implementation of a Mark I Perceptron.


The machine was connected to a camera that used
20×20 cadmium sulfide photocells to produce a
400-pixel image. The main visible feature is a
patchboard that allowed experimentation with
different combinations of input features. To the right
of that are arrays of potentiometers that
implemented the adaptive weights.[wiki]

1959. ADELINE and MADELINE networks

Bernard Widrow and Marcian Hoff of Stanford


developed models called "ADALINE" and "MADALINE."
ADALINE was developed to recognize binary patterns so
that if it was reading streaming bits from a phone line, it
could predict the next bit. MADALINE was the first neural
network applied to a real world problem, using an
adaptive filter that eliminates echoes on phone lines.
While the system is as ancient as air traffic control
systems, like air traffic control systems, it is still in
commercial use.

1982. ADELINE and MADELINE networks

In 1982, interest in the field was renewed. John Hopfield


of Caltech presented a paper to the National Academy
of Sciences. His approach was to create more useful
machines by using bidirectional lines. Previously, the
connections between neurons was only one way.
