Abstract

An artificial neural network (ANN) apparatus can include processing component circuitry that receives linear inputs, and removes linearity from the one or more linear inputs based on an S-shaped saturating activation function that generates a continuous non-linear output. The neurons of the ANN comprise digital bit-wise components configured to transform the linear inputs into the continuous non-linear output.
