On a principalement exploré trois catégories de fonctions de transfert : linéaire, en échelon ou sigmoïde. [...] Pour des neurones à fonction de transfert en échelon, la sortie ne prend que deux valeurs, respectivement basse ou élevée selon que l'entrée totale est inférieure ou supérieure à un certain seuil. 3, record 1, French, - fonction%20%C3%A0%20seuil
