Technical Definition
Another name for a fully connected layer in a neural network.
How it works
A dense layer, also known as a fully connected layer, is a fundamental building block in neural networks. In this layer, every neuron receives input from every neuron in the previous layer. This allows the layer to learn complex relationships between all the input features.
