Abstract
The subject technology provides a framework for evaluating activation functions of a neural network using lookup tables. In order to provide lookup table based activation functions with a desired precision within hardware constraints for the lookup tables, multiple lookup tables for each activation function can be provided. Each of the multiple lookup tables may correspond to a respective subrange of input values, within a full range of input values for the activation function.
