Biases

Domain: AI Fundamentals

🎯 Motivation

A bias shifts the neuron output so it can fire even when inputs are zero, giving the model flexibility.

📋 Concrete Example

A neuron with bias = -2 will not fire easily. Changing bias to +3 makes it fire more often for the same inputs.

🔗 Analogy

Like a thermostat offset - even if the room temperature reading is the same, you can nudge the system to heat earlier.
