Multilayer feedforward networks with a nonpolynomial activation function can approximate any function
-Several researchers characterized the activation fimction under which multilayer feedforward networks can act as universal approximators. We show that most o f all the characterizations that were reported thus far in the literature are special cases o f the following general result: A standard multilayer feedforward network with a locally bounded piecewise continuous activation fimction can ap...
متن کاملMultilayer feedforward networks with adaptive spline activation function
In this paper, a new adaptive spline activation function neural network (ASNN) is presented. Due to the ASNN's high representation capabilities, networks with a small number of interconnections can be trained to solve both pattern recognition and data processing real-time problems. The main idea is to use a Catmull-Rom cubic spline as the neuron's activation function, which ensures a simple str...
متن کاملA Single Hidden Layer Feedforward Network with Only One Neuron in the Hidden Layer Can Approximate Any Univariate Function
The possibility of approximating a continuous function on a compact subset of the real line by a feedforward single hidden layer neural network with a sigmoidal activation function has been studied in many papers. Such networks can approximate an arbitrary continuous function provided that an unlimited number of neurons in a hidden layer is permitted. In this note, we consider constructive appr...
متن کاملA New Approach to Approximate Completion Time Distribution Function of Stochastic Pert Networks
The classical PERT approach uses the path with the largest expected duration as the critical path to estimate the probability of completing a network by a given deadline. However, in general, such a path is not the most critical path (MCP) and does not have the smallest estimate for the probability of completion time. The main idea of this paper is derived from the domination structure between ...
متن کاملEvolutionary Discovery of Learning Rules for Feedforward Neural Networks with Step Activation Function
Neural networks with step activation function can be very efficient ways of performing non linear mappings. However, no standard learning algorithm exists for training this kind of neural networks. In this work we use Genetic Programming (GP) to discover supervised learning algorithms which can train neural networks with step activation function. Thanks to GP, a new learning algorithm has been ...
