Hidden Layer
A Hidden Layer is a layer of neurons located between the input layer and the output layer in an artificial neural network, responsible for extracting and learning abstract features from input data.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are they called 'hidden' layers?▼
Because their inputs and outputs are not directly visible to the external environment, unlike the initial input layer and final prediction output layer.
How does adding more hidden layers affect a neural network?▼
It increases the network's capacity to represent complex non-linear functions (making it 'deeper'), but also increases the risk of overfitting and training computation time.
