What is a neuron in a neural network?

Can you explain what a neuron is in the context of a neural network?

Sure! A neuron in a neural network is a basic unit that processes input data and produces an output.

How does a neuron process input data?

A neuron takes inputs, applies weights to them, sums them up, and then passes the result through an activation function.

What is the purpose of the activation function?

The activation function determines whether a neuron should be activated or not, introducing non-linearity into the model.

Can you give an example of an activation function?

Certainly! A common activation function is the ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit), which outputs the input directly if it's positive, otherwise, it outputs zero.
