Abstract
A method for approximating an activation function, the method including: receiving an input value of the activation function; determining that the input value is within a range, the range includes a set of non-uniform intervals; determining a selected interval from among the set of non-uniform intervals including the input value; retrieving, by a hardware accelerator, from a look-up table (LUT) associated with a type of the activation function, values of one or more quadratic interpolation parameters associated with the selected interval; performing a quadratic interpolation on the input value to approximate the input value using the values of the one or more quadratic interpolation parameters; and determining a first approximated output of the activation function based on a result of the quadratic interpolation performed on the input value.
