I am developing a multi-class perceptron algorithm and was wondering if there are any datasets that could be used to test a multi-class perceptron? - A dataset where the classes are linearly separable and have at least 100 or more instances for training?

Maybe the good old iris? It suits your needs and is good for start.

i think only one of the classes in the Iris data set is linearly separable. (From the OP's Question, i think he's after data sets w/ only linearly separable classes). – doug Jul 27 '10 at 9:52
@doug, good point, still I don't think that one can get any non-synthetic fully linearly separable problem. Nevertheless I'll wait for the OP's reaction. – mbq♦ Jul 27 '10 at 10:13
yes - only one of the classes in the iris data set is linearly separable - so, I've now started experimenting with algorithmically generated datasets. – KungPaoChicken Jul 27 '10 at 23:22
