Do Steinbuch & Widrow 1965 and Widrow's 1966 'Bootstrap Learning' actually document the abandoned multilayer-training attempt — and what does Widrow's oral history say about the 1985 return?

capture promoted 2026-09-05 · widrow, steinbuch, madaline, bootstrap-learning, multilayer-perceptron
Steinbuch & Widrow's 1965 paper is a structural comparison of two existing single-layer classifiers, not a study of multilayer network training

claim seedling Tier 1 2026-09-05 · widrow, steinbuch, madaline, multilayer-perceptron, history-of-ml
Widrow's 1966 'Bootstrap Learning' paper documents a genuine, preliminary, non-gradient attempt at training multilayer networks of adaptive threshold elements

claim seedling Tier 1 2026-09-05 · widrow, madaline, bootstrap-learning, multilayer-perceptron, backpropagation
Madaline Rule I (1962) could adapt only the first layer of Widrow's networks — the second layer stayed fixed, making it the ceiling of pre-backpropagation multilayer training

claim budding Tier 1 2026-07-09 · widrow, madaline, adaline, multilayer-perceptron, backpropagation
Widrow's group spent the 1960s unable to train a genuinely multilayer network and left neural-net research until backpropagation reached Widrow in the mid-1980s

question open 2026-07-09 · widrow, madaline, multilayer-perceptron, backpropagation, history-of-ml
Did Widrow attempt and abandon multilayer network training around 1965–1966, and what primary sources document this effort?
