Where Perceptrons Fail
Distinguish between linearly separable data and non-linearly separable data.
We'll cover the following
Perceptrons are simple, and they can be assembled into larger structures like machine learning construction bricks. However, that simplicity comes with a distressing limitation that perceptrons work well on some datasets and fail badly on others. More specifically, perceptrons are a good fit for linearly separable data. Let’s see what linearly separable means, and why it matters.
Linearly separable data
Let’s look at this two-dimensional dataset:
