Abstract

Cardinal sine function used as an activation function for a hierarchical classifier. Application of a sine function, or a cardinal sine function, for hierarchical classification of a subject within subject matter domains and sub-domains. Hierarchical classification or multi-level classification is improved through use of the cardinal sine function or even standard sine function. Some embodiments of the present invention focus on the usage of cardinal sine function as activation function and how to apply this cardinal sine function for hierarchical classification of a subject. Some embodiments include a technique by which hierarchical classification or multi-level classification can benefit from application of a cardinal sine function.
