Emergent activation functions from a stochastic bit stream neuron

Emergent activation functions from a stochastic bit stream neuron
Emergent activation functions from a stochastic bit stream neuron
In this paper we present the results of experimental work that demonstrates the generation of linear and sigmoid activation functions in a digital stochastic bit-stream neuron. These activation functions are generated by a stochastic process and require no additional hardware, allowing the design of an individual neuron to be extremely compact.

Abstract

In this paper we present the results of experimental work that demonstrates the generation of linear and sigmoid activation functions in a digital stochastic bit-stream neuron. These activation functions are generated by a stochastic process and require no additional hardware, allowing the design of an individual neuron to be extremely compact.
