sigmoid functionとは 意味・読み方・使い方

名詞

sigmoid function (複数形 sigmoid functions)

1. (mathematical analysis, statistics) Any of various real functions whose graph resembles an elongated letter "S"; specifically, the logistic function ${\displaystyle y={\frac {e^{x}}{e^{x}+1}}={\frac {1}{1+e^{-x}}}}$.

     [The] [s]igmoid function is the most commonly known function used in feed forward neural networks because of its nonlinearity and the computational simplicity of its derivative.

     The first significant new insight from gamma spatial analysis emerged on re-examination of the sigmoid function representing bilateral saturation.

     Sigmoid functions find multiple applications to neural networks and cell growth population models [14,20]. A sigmoid function on ${\displaystyle \mathbb {R} }$ with a range ${\displaystyle [a,b]}$ is defined as a monotone function ${\displaystyle s(t):\mathbb {R} \to [a,b]}$ such that ${\displaystyle \textstyle \lim _{t\to -\infty }s(t)=a}$, and ${\displaystyle \textstyle \lim _{t\to \infty }s(t)=b}$.
