activations
Turning things on
Activations are instances of making something active or operational.
A product requires activation before use; a phone plan requires activation with a carrier.
In neuroscience and machine learning, activations refer to the firing of neurons or their artificial equivalents—the signals passed between layers of a neural network: We examined the model's activations to understand what it had learned.
