NAME

AI::NNFlex::Mathlib - miscellaneous mathematical functions for the AI::NNFlex NN package

DESCRIPTION

The AI::NNFlex::Mathlib package contains activation and error functions. At present there are the following:

Activation functions

  • tanh

  • linear

  • hopfield_threshold

Error functions

  • atanh

If you want to implement your own activation/error functions, you can add them to this module. All activation functions to be used by certain types of net (like Backprop) require an additional function <function name>_slope, which returns the 1st order derivative of the function.

This rule doesn't apply to all network types. Hopfield for example requires no slope calculation.

CHANGES

v1.2 includes hopfield_threshold
