MLPs were a popular machine learning solution in the 1980s, finding applications in diverse fields such as speech recognition, image recognition, and machine translation software,^[23] but thereafter faced strong competition from much simpler (and related^[24]) support vector machines. Interest in backpropagation networks returned due to the successes of deep learning.

As late as 2021, a very simple NN architecture combining two deep MLPs with skip connections and layer normalizations was designed and called MLP-Mixer; its realizations featuring 19 to 431 millions of parameters were shown to be comparable to vision transformers of similar size on ImageNet and similar image classification tasks.^[22]
