Abstract
The authors present the results of experimental work that demonstrates the generation of linear and sigmoid activation functions in a digita l stochastic bit-stream neuron. These activation functions are generat ed by a stochastic process and require no additional hardware, enablin g the design of an individual neuron to be extremely compact.
