Activation Functions

Non-linearities that go between layers of your model. Note that, unless otherwise stated, activation functions operate on scalars. To apply them to an array you can call σ.(xs), relu.(xs) and so on.

NNlib.celu Function
julia
celu(x, α=1) = x  0 ? x : α * (exp(x/α) - 1)

NNlib.sigmoid_fast Function
julia
sigmoid_fast(x)

This is a faster, and very slightly less accurate, version of sigmoid. For x::Float32, perhaps 3 times faster, and maximum errors 2 eps instead of 1.

NNlib.tanh_fast Function
julia
tanh_fast(x)

This is a faster but slighly less accurate version of tanh.

Where Julia's tanh function has an error under 2 eps, this may be wrong by 5 eps, a reduction by less than one decimal digit.

For x::Float32 this is usually about 10 times faster, with a smaller speedup for x::Float64. For any other number types, it just calls tanh.

See also sigmoid_fast.
