    How often would you employ a sigmoid activation function?

    In the beginning stages of deep learning, the sigmoid activation function is used. This smoothing function is useful and easy to derive. The curve is “S”-shaped along the Y axis, therefore “Sigmoidal.” For example, the sigmoidal part of the tanh function generalizes to all “S”-form functions and makes logistic functions a particular case (x).
