1 answer is correct. Medium

Show answer

Answer

  • B Weighted sum of the activations of the previous layer plus its own bias, then passed through a non-linear activation function

Explanation

Each neuron after the input layer first computes a weighted sum of the activation values of all connected neurons in the previous layer, where each connection has its own weight, and adds its bias. This sum is passed through a non-linear activation function. Different activation functions yield different activation values.
