From 043044ae7563c2f92760c428765e35b411da82ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: skal Date: Sat, 14 Feb 2026 02:12:12 +0100 Subject: Replace hard clamp with sigmoid activation in CNN v2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Fixes training collapse where p1/p2 channels saturate due to gradient blocking at clamp boundaries. Sigmoid provides smooth [0,1] mapping with continuous gradients. Changes: - Layer 0: clamp(x, 0, 1) → sigmoid(x) - Final layer: clamp(x, 0, 1) → sigmoid(x) - Middle layers: ReLU unchanged (already stable) Updated files: - training/train_cnn_v2.py: PyTorch model activations - workspaces/main/shaders/cnn_v2/cnn_v2_compute.wgsl: WGSL shader - tools/cnn_v2_test/index.html: HTML validation tool - doc/CNN_V2.md: Documentation Validation: - Build clean (no shader errors) - 34/36 tests pass (2 unrelated script tests fail) - 10-epoch training: loss 0.153 → 0.088 (good convergence) - cnn_test processes images successfully Breaking change: Old checkpoints trained with clamp() incompatible.
