Isn't the name "perceptron" going to be a little confusing in this context?

Yes, I found the name misleading also.
That was my first thought as well
Why exactly?
...Hence why I've called my "feedforward artificial neural network model that maps sets of input data onto a set of appropriate outputs" builder Perceptron...
This would be like calling a linear model builder "Regression"
No need to take the name so literally though - it's rare names are taken literally at all!
Not in particular. Just a satisfiying name, and relevant enough.
