The motivation for this is that I'm comparing a filter a colleague wrote

Neural net vs. perceptron is a large distinction in our community, so I
wouldn't want to be wrong about it.
Unfortunately, most of us aren't qualified to go into the details of
machine learning techniques, myself included. There's more information
on the wiki and in the source tree about how the perceptron works for
us in some more depth:

Hope this helps. :)
Thank you. That second link is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks again,
Gabriel
