How neural networks manages to learn 0 class for sigmoidal Cross-Entropy loss function using ReLU as activation unit?
Let's say we have binary classification problem: 0 vs 1. Some set of images needs to be mapped to those labels by convolutional neural network.
Main trend for now is to use ReLu as activation unit, ...
