Here’s a list of 100 facts about different layers in neural networks:

Input Layer:

1. The input layer is the first layer of a neural network, responsible for receiving input data.
2. Each node in the input layer corresponds to a feature in the input data.
3. The number of nodes in the input layer is determined by the number of features in the input dataset.
4. The input layer has no activation function, as it simply passes the input data to the next layer.

Dense (Fully Connected) Layer:

1. Dense layers connect every node from the previous layer to every node in the current layer.
2. These layers are commonly used in the output layer of a neural network for classification tasks.
3. Each connection in a dense layer has a weight, and each node has a bias term.
4. The activation function is applied to the weighted sum of inputs and biases for each node in a dense layer.

Activation Functions:

1. Common activation functions include ReLU, sigmoid, tanh, and softmax.
2. ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit) is popular due to its simplicity and effectiveness in addressing the…
