Abstract: | Sigmoid-like activation functions implemented in analog hardware differ in various ways from the standard sigmoidal function as they are asymmetric, truncated, and have a non-standard gain. It is demonstrated how one can adapt the backpropagation learning rule to compensate for these non-standard sigmoids as available in hardware. This method is applied to multilayer neural networks with all-optical forward propagation and liquid crystal light valves (LCLV) as optical thresholding devices. In this paper the results of software simulations of a backpropagation neural network with five different LCLV activation functions are presented and it is shown that the adapted learning rule performs well with these LCLV curves |
