Winner-take-all (computing)
open-in-new
<p>Winner-take-all is a computational principle applied in computational <a href="/facts/Models_of_neural_network/6V1jMlkx">models of neural networks</a> by which <a href="/facts/Neuron/G7CyTVdH">neurons</a> compete with each other for activation. In the classical form, only the neuron with the highest activation stays active while all other neurons shut down; however, other variations allow more than one neuron to be active, for example the soft winner take-all, by which a <a href="/facts/Exponentiation/pac6QY2g">power function</a> is applied to the neurons. </p>
