James McCaffrey explains what neural network activation functions are and why they're necessary, and explores three common activation functions. Understanding neural network activation functions is ...

Cloud native networks are not SDN reborn but a fundamentally different way to look at networks. While SDN seemed to take physical network machines and virtualized them, CNFs are not merely ...

Getting started on designing a network is a task of formidable proportions, but all the more so if you are looking to build a secure IT network. Often, IT system administrators are not fully familiar ...

For decades, networks have been built on the same fundamental principle: dedicated hardware appliances for each network function. Need a firewall? Buy a box. Need load balancing? Purchase another ...

Every telecom system is bursting with information about subscribers, services and devices—not to mention the telco's network equipment and operational status. This data is both sensitive and necessary ...

Understanding neural network activation functions is essential whether you use an existing software tool to perform neural network analysis of data or write custom neural network code. This article ...

Article reviewed by Grace Lindsay, PhD from New York University. Scientists design ANNs to function like neurons. 6 They write lines of code in an algorithm such that there are nodes that each contain ...
