Describe a neural network : Implement a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) For Supervised Classification

The video tutorial covers the implementation of multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) for classifying glass types based on their chemical composition. It begins with data preparation, including setting data types and splitting data into training and testing sets. The tutorial then demonstrates the creation and training of an MLP model using a backpropagation algorithm. Finally, it evaluates the model's performance using a confusion matrix to assess accuracy on both training and test data.

Discuss the role of the backpropagation algorithm in training multilayer perceptrons as described in the text.

What is a confusion matrix and how is it used in the context of the model described?
