Sigmoid is a smooth and continuously differentiable function. It results in nonlinear output. The sigmoid function is represented here:
Please, look at the observations in the following graph of the sigmoid function. The function ranges from 0 to 1. Observing the curve of the function, we see that the gradient is very high when x values between -3 and 3, but becomes flat beyond that. Thus, we can say that small changes in x near these points will bring large changes in the value of the sigmoid function. Therefore, the function goals in pushing the values of the sigmoid function towards the extremes.
Therefore, it's being ...
