Cryptic writing is said to have come into existence as early as 1900 BC when the Egyptian scribes used hieroglyphics to communicate. The methods of cryptography might have changed over the years but the central idea hasn’t changed much; either eavesdropping or evading them. According to Gary C Kessler, there are five primary functions of…

These action potentials can be thought of as activation functions in the case of neural networks. The path that needs to be fired depends on the activation functions in the preceding layers just like any physical movement depends on the action potential at the neuron level. Deep neural networks are trained, by updating and…
