An [[activation function]] in [[machine learning]] is a mathematical function applied to the [[output]] of a [[neuron]] in a [[neural network]]. This determines what happens next based on [[input]] to the neuron and is an essential element of its [[architecture]]. The activation function enables neural networks to learn [[nonlinear]] (complex) relationships between [[features]] and the [[label]].
