Designing multilayer feedforward neural networks using simplified sigmoid activation functions and one-powers-of-two weights
Hon Keung Kwan, C.Z. Tang · Electronics Letters · 1992
A design method for multilayer feedforward neural networks with simplified sigmoid activation functions and one-powers-of-two weights is proposed. The designed multilayer feed-forward neural network can retain a nearly identical generalisation capability of the corresponding network using continuous weights, while having increased computational speed in applications and reduced cost in digital hardware implementation.
