McCulloch-Pitts neuron
(redirected from Artificial neuron)

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.04 sec.
(artificial intelligence)McCulloch-Pitts neuron - The basic building block of artificial neural networks. It receives one or more inputs and produces one or more identical outputs, each of which is a simple non-linear function of the sum of the inputs to the neuron. The non-linear function is typically a threshhold or step function which is usually smoothed (i.e. a sigmoid) to facilitate learning.
