r/MachineLearning - [P] McCulloch & Pitts Neural Net Simulator
This project is more about the history of machine learning than any current research. In 1943 McCulloch & Pitts created a model of computation based on neurons, rather than electronic logic gates. Their neurons were designed to reason about the kinds of calculations that brains could do, even though they were much more simple then real biological neurons. I read Computation Finite and Infinite, by Marvin Minsky (1967), who is also the author of Percpetrons. In this book he uses this neural net model to explore theory of computation and finite state machines.
