ACtivation function

Post by klubow »

Can you tell me how activation function called IDENT01 is calculated ?
What influence have

-activation threshold
-activation sustain factor

Hi,

probably easiest is some pseudo-code here:

Code: Select all

activation = activation * sustainFactor;
// The following code is only used if the neuron is NOT an input neuron. For input neurons the calculation is finished here.
sum = SumUpInputs();
sum = sum - activationThreshold;
activation = activation + sum;
if (activation > 1)
{
    activation = 1;
}
else if (activation < 0)
{
    activation = 0;
}
Does that help?

Hi again,

you can also find additional information in the MemBrain Help file:

Press F1 in MemBrain and browse to the chapter 'Neurons in MemBrain' - 'Neuron Model And Operation'.

This help chapter describes the calculations of neuron activation and output in more detail.
