e/Activation function

Information
has gloss	eng: In computational networks, the activation function of a node defines the output of that node given an input or set of inputs. A standard computer chip circuit can be seen as a digital network of activation functions that can be "ON" (1) or "OFF" (0), depending on input. This is similar to the behavior of the linear perceptron in neural networks. However, it is the nonlinear activation function that allows such networks to compute nontrivial problems using only a small number of nodes.
lexicalization	eng: activation function
instance of	(noun) any network of neurons or nuclei that function together to perform some function in the body neural network, neural net
