Simplified neuron functions for FPGA evaluations of engineering neuron on gate array and analogue circuit

We estimated various neuron functions to construct of engineering neurons, which are the combination of sigmoid, linear, sine, quadric, double/single bended, soft max/minimum functions. These combinations are estimated by the property on the potential surface between the learning points, calculation speed, and learning convergence; because the surface depends on the inference ability of a neuron system; and speed and convergence are depend on the efficiency on the points of engineering applications. After the evaluating discussions, we can select more appropriate combination than original sigmoid function´s, which is single bended function and linear one. The combination ...
