🧠Non-linearity is crucial for neural networks to model complex patterns.
🔗Linear activation functions can only model straight lines.
🎨Non-linear activation functions allow neural networks to draw complex patterns using both straight and non-straight lines.
💡ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit) is a popular non-linear activation function.
📊Choosing the right activation function is essential for modeling different types of data.
Why do neural networks need non-linearity?
—Non-linearity allows neural networks to model complex patterns that cannot be represented using only straight lines.
What happens if we use only linear activation functions?
—Linear activation functions can only model straight lines, limiting the neural network's ability to capture complex patterns.
What is ReLU?
—ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit) is a non-linear activation function commonly used in neural networks. It returns the input directly if it is positive, and zero otherwise.
Are there other non-linear activation functions?
—Yes, there are several other non-linear activation functions, such as sigmoid, tanh, and softmax.
How do we choose the right activation function?
—The choice of activation function depends on the type of data and the complexity of the patterns you want to model. Experimentation and understanding the characteristics of different activation functions can help with the selection.
