What is Activation Functions in Neural Network (NN)?
In Artificial Neural Network (ANN), the activation function of a neuron defines the output of that neuron given a set of inputs. For Neural Network to achieve maximum predictive power, we must apply activation function in the hidden layers. An activation function allows the model to capture non-linearities. Image 1 below from study.com gives examples of linear function and reduces nonlinear function. If the relationships in the data are not straight line relationships we will…
