A Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) is a basic type of neural network with an input layer, one or more hidden layers, and an output layer, used to learn patterns in data. This guide explains MLP with a simple 2D dataset, detailing the network structure, forward pass, loss calculation, backpropagation, and weight updates. It also includes Python code for building and training the network using scikit-learn's MLPClassifier.
