Introduction to Artificial Neural Networks and the Perceptron [Quant Start]In this article we begin our discussion of artificial neural networks (ANN). We first motivate the need for a deep learning based approach within quantitative finance. Then we outline one of the most elementary neural networks known as the perceptron. We discuss the architecture of the perceptron and its ability to function as a supervised linear classifier, using step function based activation
