First, we propose two activation functions for neural network function approximation in reinforcement learning: the sigmoid-weighted linear unit (SiLU) and its derivative function (dSiLU). The activation of the SiLU is computed by the sigmoid function multiplied by its input. Second, we suggest ...

In this tutorial, you will discover the intuition behind neural networks as function approximation algorithms. After completing this tutorial, you will know: Training a neural network on data approximates the unknown underlying mapping function from inputs to outputs. One dimensional input and output ...
This neuron can be trained to learn an affine function of its inputs, or to find a linear approximation to a nonlinear function. A linear network cannot, of course, be made to perform a nonlinear computation. Network Architecture The linear network shown below has one layer of S neurons con...
By testing several different initial conditions, you can verify robust network performance. When the data set is small and you are training function approximation networks, Bayesian regularization provides better generalization performance than early stopping. This is because Bayesian regularization does not...
We propose herein a neural network based on curved kernels constituing an anisotropic family of functions and a learning rule to automatically tune the number of needed kernels to the frequency of the data in the input space. The model has been tested on two case studies of approximation proble...
1.4.1 Neural Networks-Based Function Approximation In this Section, we give an overview of basic neural network types used for constitutive modeling in the reviewed publications, including FFNNs, RNNs and CNNs. The outlined neural network types are depicted in Fig. 4. FFNNs are general mappings...
Nodes in a neural network are fully connected, so every node in layer N is connected to all nodes in layer N-1 and layer N+1. Nodes within the same layer are not connected to each other in most designs. Each node in a neural network operates in its own sphere of knowledge and only...
,k * . The difference between a neural network and the other approximation methods is that the neural network makes use of one or more hidden layers, in which the input variables are squashed or transformed by a special function, known as a logistic or logsigmoid transformation. While this ...
