Neural Networks Explained: Why ReLU Beats Sigmoid & How to Build One in PyTorch
This article explains neural network fundamentals, covering why logistic regression units form neurons, the problems with Sigmoid activation in hidden layers (vanishing gradients, non-zero centered outputs), why ReLU and its variants are preferred, how Softmax enables multi-class classification with cross-entropy loss, and provides a complete PyTorch implementation example.
