Activation

You might have a rough time activating your iPhone 14. As MacRumors reports, Apple has fixed an iOS 16 bug that broke activation of iMessage and FaceTime on open WiFi networks. Your brand new device might not work properly out of the box, depending on your situation. You only have to install an iOS 16.0.1 update to address the bug, but you may need to restore the phone with a computer to load the new software. It's not clear whether Apple will have a solution apart from shipping future devices with iOS 16.0.1. MacRumors…

How to identify the best (and worst) activation functionsPhoto by JJ Ying on UnsplashWhen I first started learning ML, I was told that activations are used to mimic the “neuron activations” in the brain, hence the name neural networks. It was not until much later that I learned about the finer intricacies of this building block.In this article, I will explain two key concepts and the intuition behind Activation functions in Deep Neural Networks:Why we need them,Why we can’t just pick any non-linear function as…

Last Updated on July 6, 2022 Activation functions play an integral role in neural networks by introducing non-linearity. This nonlinearity allows neural networks to develop complex representations and functions based on the inputs that would not be possible with a simple linear regression model. There have been many different non-linear activation functions proposed throughout the history of neural networks. In this post, we will explore three popular ones: sigmoid, tanh, and ReLU. After reading this article, you will…
