Python - Intro to Neural Networks

Description

Introduction to neural networks. Attempt at creating a "perceptron", using a housing data CSV file.

The Perceptron

The perceptron was one of the first instances of a neural net type project. Essentially, given a dataset of points that can be plotted to a 2-D graph, it will try to create a single straight line directly through the points, splitting the graph into two sections.

The intention is that the line is meaningful, and will split the data exactly into useful divisions, based on the data's value.

However, real data rarely is so black and white, and a straight line rarely helps.
