Multi-Valued Neuron with a periodic activation function — New learning strategy
Valentin Mircea Lupea · 2012
Multi-Value Neurons (MVN) arouse from the necessity to solve those highly non-linear, multi-threshold problems. Various activation functions and learning algorithms were developed in the last years, which in time gave birth to a new type of MVN, called MVN with a periodic activation function (MVN-P). This neuron presented higher functionality than a MVN. The next natural step was trying to integrate this MVN-P into a Neural Network (NN) to increase further more its functionality.
