This is the potential of a neuron in a layer of a feedforward neural network.
This is the potential of a neuron in a layer of a feedforward neural network. It is the weighted sum of the activations from the previous layer without applying the activation function.
The symbol, \(a\), represents the potential of a neuron in a layer of a feedforward neural network. It is the weighted sum of the activations from the previous layer without applying the activation function. In the forward pass of backpropagation, the potential is computed for all neurons, and they play a role in computing the gradients.
