Sigmoid in a sentence as an adjective

If/when that is the case, each new region will start its own sigmoidal worth.

However... those growth curves look linear, if not sigmoid.

A relatively small lookup table for the sigmoid function can also work well.

Your sigmoid curve does not account for disruptive technologies.

"Or about neural networks,"A backprop network with sigmoid units... actually doesn't much resemble biology at all.

I actually developed a Jordan Network with a conventional additive sigmoid NN that could encode/decode more than 40 symbols!

With 2 billion internet users we've either reached or are fast approaching the inflection in whatever sigmoid function describes the growth in users.

The above is achieved by mostly feed-forward, simply sigmoid functions from input to output, where the parameters are conveniently chosen according to the data.

A larger, publicly held business is often less able to do so, so getting over the slow growth in the lead-in of the logistic sigmoid is really tough in a larger corporate environment.

However, they fit a sigmoid to what is a patently linear trend in the total number of single-person households beginning in 1950, and extrapolate back to 1900 despite having only two data points for that period.

A deep network is much less ambitious, as it only aims to encode its input in more semantic representation, and it's interesting that it turns out that you can do a good job at that just by passing inputs through a few sigmoids.

Obviously intelligence tops out at the high end of a sigmoid curve - there's only so much matter and energy in the universe to convert to computronium - but that's no reason to suspect any value smaller than that as the limit.

Now, you may argue that Moore's law will not take us there, exponential vs. sigmoid, etc., but the point is, the probability is distinctly non-zero that within 20/50/100 years you or your children will be able to purchase enough computing power to simulate a brain.
