Activation functions play a critical role in AI inference, helping to ferret out nonlinear behaviors in AI models. This makes them an integral part of any neural network, but nonlinear functions can ...

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed an optical computing framework that performs large-scale nonlinear computations using linear materials. Reported in ...

Given appropriate models for vacuum tubes, circuit simulators such as SPICE make analysis based on such nonlinear models a tractable effort. The Langmuir, Leach, and Koren models are discussed for the ...
