Beyond the Line: How Activation Functions Unlock Complex Learning in Neural Networks
Here are some of the most famous activation functions used in neural networks, along with their advantages and disadvantages: 1. Sigmoid Function: Output: Ranges between 0 and 1 (squashes the input values between 0 and 1). Advantages: Smooth output, making it suitable for modeling probabilities (often used in output layer for binary classification). Well-behaved gradients for backpropagation (a technique…
