Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. For an electronic device, a method comprising:
capturing a set of input data; and
executing a machine-trained (MT) network to process the captured set of input data and generate a set of output data based on the set of input data, wherein executing the MT network comprises executing a plurality of layers of processing nodes, each processing node of a plurality of the processing nodes comprising:
a linear operator that computes an intermediate value by combining a set of input values of the processing node based on a set of weight values of the processing node; and
a nonlinear operator that applies a piecewise linear periodic function to the intermediate value from the linear operator of the processing node to compute an output value of the processing node,

wherein a particular piecewise linear periodic function for a particular processing node comprises at least three linear segments, wherein a first one of the linear segments has a negative slope and a second one of the linear segments has a positive slope.
