Output Layer

Q: What is Output Layer?

An output layer is the final computational layer in a Neural Network (NN) that converts internal feature representations into task-specific outputs, such as class probabilities, numeric predictions, or action scores. Expanded Explanation 1. Technical Function and Core Characteristics The output layer receives activations from preceding hidden layers and applies a transformation, often linear, followed by an optional activation function. It maps high-dimensional internal representations to a

Q: How widely is Output Layer used?
