Deep Learning - Crash Course 2023 - Activation Functions in Deep Learning Neural Networks - Introduction

The video tutorial explores activation functions in deep learning neural networks. It begins with an introduction to activation functions and their role in neural networks, focusing on the sigmoid function used for binary classification and regression. The tutorial then introduces other activation functions available in TensorFlow, such as tanh, relu, leaky relu, and softmax, explaining their usage and benefits.

What is the purpose of an activation function in deep learning neural networks?

How does the linear aggregation relate to the activation function?
