Constructor Detail

ActivationSoftMax

public ActivationSoftMax()
Method Detail

activationFunction

public void activationFunction(double[] d)
Implements the activation function. The array is modified according to the activation function being used. See the class description for more specific information on this type of activation function.

Specified by:
activationFunction in interface ActivationFunction
Parameters:
d - The input array to the activation function.

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
Specified by:
clone in class BasicActivationFunction
Returns:
The object cloned;

createPersistor

public Persistor createPersistor()
Create a Persistor for this activation function.

Specified by:
createPersistor in interface EncogPersistedObject
Specified by:
createPersistor in class BasicActivationFunction
Returns:
The persistor.

derivativeFunction

public void derivativeFunction(double[] d)
Implements the activation function derivative. The array is modified according derivative of the activation function being used. See the class description for more specific information on this type of activation function. Propagation training requires the derivative. Some activation functions do not support a derivative and will throw an error.

Specified by:
derivativeFunction in interface ActivationFunction
Parameters:
d - The input array to the activation function.

hasDerivative

public boolean hasDerivative()
Specified by:
hasDerivative in interface ActivationFunction
Returns:
Return false, softmax has no derivative.
