In the world of deep learning, activations breathe the life into neural networks by introducing non-linearity, enabling them to learn complex patterns. The Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) function is a cornerstone activation function, enabling simple, neural efficiency for reducing the impact of the vanishing gradient problem. In this complete guide to the ReLU activation function, […]
