  1. 1985

    A Learning Algorithm for Boltzmann Machines

    Cognitive Science 9

    A 1985 Cognitive Science paper by Ackley, Hinton and Sejnowski that presents a general learning rule for connectionist networks and reports simple examples of efficient internal representations.

  2. 1982

    Neural networks and physical systems with emergent collective computational abilities

    PNAS

    A 1982 paper by John J. Hopfield arguing that useful computation can emerge as a collective property of many simple, equivalent units, and describing a model whose collective behaviour gives content-addressable memory, generalisation and error correction.

    The Perceptron: A Probabilistic Model for Information Storage and Organization in the Brain

    Psychological Review

    In 1958 Frank Rosenblatt described the perceptron, a model whose connection strengths change with training so that it learns to classify stimuli by trial and error. It became the starting point for trainable neural networks.
