nounpl: activation functions
funções de ativação
1. Mathematical functions used in artificial neural networks that determine the output of a neuron based on its input, introducing non-linearity to enable networks to learn complex patterns
ReLU and sigmoid are common activation functions used in deep learning models.
ReLU e sigmoid são funções de ativação comuns usadas em modelos de aprendizado profundo.
2. Functions that control whether a neuron should be activated or remain inactive based on the weighted sum of inputs
The choice of activation function significantly impacts the training speed and accuracy of neural networks.
A escolha da função de ativação impacta significativamente a velocidade de treinamento e a precisão das redes neurais.
This is a specialized technical term from machine learning and artificial intelligence that is used identically in both Brazilian Portuguese and international contexts.
