Perceptrons, Reissue of the 1988 Expanded Edition with a new foreword by Léon Bottou - by Marvin Minsky & Seymour A Papert (Paperback)

The book "Perceptrons" by Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert is a groundbreaking study on parallelism in computation, providing a systematic analysis of the computational capabilities of perceptrons for specific tasks.

This reissue includes a new foreword by Léon Bottou, highlighting the relevance of Minsky and Papert's insistence on theoretical foundations in today's fastest-growing field of machine learning.

The book marks a historic turn in artificial intelligence, exploring how intelligence might emerge from the activity of networks of neuron-like entities.

With new chapters added in 1987, the book discusses the state of parallel computers and the central theoretical challenge of reaching a deeper understanding of how "objects" or "agents" with individuality can emerge in a network.

This comprehensive study is essential reading for anyone interested in the field of artificial intelligence and its potential to revolutionize our understanding of the human mind.
