Follow one neural calculation

Trace input, weighted sum and activation with fixed parameters.

What to learn first

These basics help you understand this lesson. One correct answer is a start; explore the full tutorial or try this lesson now.

How Data Becomes NumbersRecommended first

A simple neural unit multiplies inputs by weights, adds a bias and applies an activation function. Networks combine units into layers. This example uses fixed weights and ReLU; changing inputs performs a forward calculation, not training.

A manually configured unit: weights w₁=2 and w₂=−1, bias b=1. Sliders change inputs, not parameters.

Weighted sum

z = 2×(1) − 2 + 1 = 1

ReLU output in this example

max(0, 1) = 1

ReLU maps negative values to 0 here. Networks combine many units and may use other activations. This output is a number, not a factual accuracy score.

You move an input slider while the weights stay fixed. Are you training those weights?
