Gaussian Error Linear Unit

T

"""
This script demonstrates an implementation of the Gaussian Error Linear Unit function.
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activation_function#Comparison_of_activation_functions

The function takes a vector of K real numbers as input and returns x * sigmoid(1.702*x).
Gaussian Error Linear Unit (GELU) is a high-performing neural network activation
function.

This script is inspired by a corresponding research paper.
