Abstract

Among all the traditional methods introduced in Chap. 2, none has involved activation function in the calculation of sensitivity analysis. This chapter attempts to generalize Piché’s method by parameterizing antisymmetric squashing activation functions, through which a universal expression of MLP’s sensitivity will be derived without any restriction on input or output perturbations.
