This is an "abstract" data-type independent implementation. To use the layer use one of the provided implementations for a specific hardware and data-type (for example from ailayer_sigmoid_default.h) or set the required math functions on your own.

The Sigmoid layer is used as an activation function layer right after a dense layer. It calculates

\[ y = \sigma(x) = \frac{1}{1+e^{-x}} \]

for every element of the input tensor.

The results of the forward pass of this layer are written to the result tensor of the base ailayer_t struct.

Function Documentation

ailayer_sigmoid()

ailayer_t* ailayer_sigmoid	(	ailayer_sigmoid_t *	layer,
		ailayer_t *	input_layer
	)

Initialize and connect the given Sigmoid layer.

This function represents the "constructor" of the abstract Sigmoid layer. It initializes the layer structure and connects it to the previous layer.
This function is not intended to call it directly. Instead use one of the data type specific implementations (like for example ailayer_sigmoid_f32_default()).

Parameters

*layer	The layer to initialize.
*input_layer	The previous layer that provides the inputs to the layer.

Returns

Pointer to the (successfully) initialized general layer structure (ailayer_sigmoid.base).

ailayer_sigmoid_backward()

void ailayer_sigmoid_backward

(

ailayer_t *

self

)

Calculate the backward pass for the given Sigmoid layer.

Implementation of ailayer.backward.

It uses the deltas tensor of the next layer as input and writes the result of the backward pass to the deltas tensor (ailayer.deltas) of the given layer.

Calculation of the errors for the previous layer:

\[ \delta_{in} \leftarrow \delta_{out} \circ \sigma'(x_{in}) \]

\( x_{in} \): Result of the forward pass of the previous layer
\( \delta_{in} \): Result of the backward pass of this layer
\( \delta_{out} \): Result of the backward pass of the next layer

Used math functions:

• ailayer_sigmoid.sigmoid
• ailayer_sigmoid.d_sigmoid
• ailayer_sigmoid.multiply

Parameters

*self

Layer to calculate the backward path for.

ailayer_sigmoid_calc_result_shape()

void ailayer_sigmoid_calc_result_shape

(

ailayer_t *

self

)

Calculate the shape of the result tensor.

Implementation of ailayer.calc_result_shape.

As the result tensor shape is shared with the result tensor shape of the previous layer (no change in shape is needed), this function returns without doing anything.

Parameters

*self

Layer to calculate the resulting shape for.

ailayer_sigmoid_forward()

void ailayer_sigmoid_forward

(

ailayer_t *

self

)

Calculate the forward pass for given Sigmoid layer.

Implementation of ailayer.forward.

It uses the result tensor of the previous layer as input and writes the result of the forward pass to the result tensor (ailayer.result) of the given layer.

Calculation of the forward pass result:

\[ x_{out} \leftarrow \sigma(x_{in}) \]

\( x_{in} \): Result of the forward pass of the previous layer
\( x_{out} \): Result of the forward pass of this layer

Used math functions:

• ailayer_sigmoid.sigmoid

Parameters

*self

Layer to calculate the forward path for.

ailayer_sigmoid_print_specs()

void ailayer_sigmoid_print_specs

(

const ailayer_t *

self

)

Print the layer specification.

Parameters

*self

The layer to print the specification for

Variable Documentation

ailayer_sigmoid_type

const aicore_layertype_t* ailayer_sigmoid_type

extern

Sigmoid layer type.

Defines the type of the layer (for example for type checks and debug prints). See aicore_layertype for more information about the layer type.
