- What are Heaviside neurons? Just curious...
-
- This is a term used by some EE and control theory people for "sharp
- threshold units", as used in the classical perceptron. This is the limit
- of a sigmoid unit if you scale all the weights (and the bias or threshold)
- up by some very large amount.
