What does "e" do in the Sigmoid Activation Function?
Within the Sigmoid Squishification function,
f(x) = 1/(1 + e^(-x))
"e" is unnecessary, as it can be replaced by any other value that is not 0 or 1. Why is "e" used here?
As shown below, the function is working well without that, and in replacement,…
