What Are Activation Functions in Deep Learning?

👨‍💻 to get started with AI engineering, check out this Scrimba course: https://scrimba.com/the-ai-engineer-path-c02v?via=yacineMahdid In deep neural networks, one of the structure's core components is activation functions inside neurons. In this tutorial, we'll figure out what they are, why they are needed, and which one you should generally use. # Table of Content - Introduction: 0:00 - What is an activation function?
