7.2 - Activation Functions

Learning

Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is the primary purpose of an activation function in a neural network?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about why we can't use just linear functions.

Question 2

Easy

What output range does a sigmoid function produce?

πŸ’‘ Hint: It's often used in binary classifications.

Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the primary output range of the Sigmoid function?

  • -1 to 1
  • 0 to 1
  • 0 to infinity

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember which context it is generally used in.

Question 2

True or False: The Tanh function is centered at zero, while Sigmoid is not.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the center point of each function.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze and explain why deep neural networks prefer ReLU and its variants over traditional functions like Sigmoid and Tanh for hidden layers.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how activation functions impact gradient flow during backpropagation.

Question 2

Consider a multi-class classification problem with an output layer using Sigmoid instead of Softmax. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on the nature of class probabilities in multi-class scenarios.
