1. Understanding the Perceptron Model: Learn the fundamentals of the Perceptron algorithm, including its architecture, activation functions, learning algorithms, and convergence.
2. Setting Up the Environment: Install and configure TensorFlow and other necessary libraries for Python development.
3. Data Preparation: Collect and preprocess a dataset suitable for binary classification tasks, ensuring it is properly formatted and normalized.
4. Model Development: Implement the Perceptron algorithm using TensorFlow, building a neural network architecture that includes:
– Input layer
– Output layer
– Training functions and loss calculations
5. Training the Model: Utilize backpropagation and gradient descent to train the model on the dataset, tuning hyperparameters for optimal performance.
6. Evaluation and Testing: Assess the model’s accuracy and performance using various metrics (e.g., precision, recall, F1 score) and visualize the results using plots.
7. Documentation: Document the entire process, including code snippets, results, and lessons learned throughout the project.
