Most elegant: The Perceptron algorithm. Developed back in the 50s by Rosenblatt and colleagues, this extremely simple algorithm can be viewed as the foundation for some of the most successful ...

A team of Italian researchers successfully ran a perceptron algorithm on a real, working quantum computer using IBM's cloud-access Q Experience system.

The story cited the U.S. Navy as saying that the Perceptron would lead to machines that “will be able to walk, talk, see, write, reproduce itself and be conscious of its existence.” ...
