XOR is not linear in the inputs. I mention this, because Minsky's paper used that fact to show that perceptrons could never work as AI. This pretty much started the first AI winter in 1973.
It's an interesting story: https://towardsdatascience.com/history-of-the-first-ai-winter-6f8c2186f80b https://towardsdatascience.com/history-of-the-first-ai-winte...
- ajb 5y agoLinearity is actually relative to the algebra you are using. Xor is not linear in real arithmetic but it is in GF(2). This is useful because some of the algorithms work across many algebras, and are useful for different problems. Eg, the tropical algebra. But you are quite correct about the AI winter.
