Popis: An activation function is a very important part of an artificial neuron model. Multilayer neural networks can properly work only when these functions are nonlinear. A simple approximation of an often applied hyperbolic tangent activation function is presented. This proposed function is computationally highly effective. Computational comparisons for two well-known test problems are discussed. The results are very promising in potential applications to FPGA chips designing.
