A perceptron is the simplest form of a neural network, consisting of a single neuron with inputs, weights, a bias, and an output.
Without activation functions, a neural network is just a giant linear equation, making it incapable of learning complex non-linear patterns.
Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) is an activation function defined as f(x) = max(0, x). It helps speed up training and prevents vanishing gradients.
