We first present a brief survey of hardness results for training feedforward neural networks. These results are then completed by the proof that the simplest architecture containing only a single neuron that applies a sigmoidal activation function \sigma:R-->[\alpha,ta], satisfying certain natural axioms, e.g. the standard (logistic) sigmoid or saturated-linear function, to the weighted sum of $n$ inputs is hard to train. In particular, the problem of finding the weights of such a unit that minimize...
