Abstract

Hyperbolic tangent (Tanh) activation function is used in multilayered artificial neural networks (ANN). This activation function contains exponential and division terms in its expressions which makes its accurate digital implementation difficult. In this paper we present two different approximation techniques for digital implementation of Tanh function using power of two and coordinate rotation digital computer (CORDIC) methods. A comparative study of both techniques in terms of accuracy of their approximations in hardware costs as well as their speed when implemented on FPGA is also explained
Tanh的有效实施:新成果的比较研究
双曲正切(Tanh)激活函数用于多层人工神经网络。该激活函数的表达式中包含指数项和除法项,这给其精确的数字化实现带来了困难。本文提出了两种不同的逼近技术,用于Tanh函数的数字实现,分别采用2次幂和坐标旋转数字计算机(CORDIC)方法。还解释了两种技术在硬件成本近似的准确性以及在FPGA上实现时的速度方面的比较研究
