Understanding the Sigmoid Function

The video tutorial explains the sigmoid function, its role in logistic regression, and its graphical representation. It covers the formula of the sigmoid function, the inverse of the exponential function, and the limits of both. The tutorial also discusses the application of the sigmoid function in binary classification problems, such as distinguishing between cat and dog images, and how it helps in predicting probabilities.

What is the primary role of the sigmoid function in logistic regression?

• To determine the variance of input features

• To serve as an activation function

• To predict continuous outcomes

• To calculate the mean of input features

• 0 to 1

What is the sigmoid function's output range?

• -1 to 1

• 0 to 1

• -10 to 10

• 0 to 10

How is the sigmoid function graphically represented?

• As a V-shaped curve

• As an S-shaped curve

• As a U-shaped curve

• As a straight line

What is the formula for the sigmoid function?

• 1 / (1 + e^x)

• 1 / (1 + e^-x)

• x / (1 + e^x)

• e^x / (1 + e^x)

What is the significance of the sigmoid function's S-shape?

• It shows a constant output

• It indicates a linear relationship

• It suggests a quadratic relationship

• It represents a non-linear transformation

What is the relationship between the exponential function and its inverse?

• The inverse is a vertical flip of the exponential

• They are identical

• The inverse is a flip with respect to the y-axis

• The inverse is a horizontal flip of the exponential
