Simplest AI Trick in the BookNormalised Tunable Sigmoid Function

Dino Dini NHTV University of Applied Sciences

Normalized Values Are Useful

For example:

● Utility calculations

● Input management

● Control systems

● Tunable parameters

Analog Input

Abstract away the device dependent positional values

(0 to 255? -1024 to 1024?) and normalise.

Normalised values are much easier to work with.
