Introduced by Scott C. Lowe et al. in Logical Activation Functions: Logit-space equivalents of Probabilistic Boolean Operators

NAIL OR is a two-dimensional activation function which takes two logits as input and produces a single output. It is a piece-wise linear approximation of the probabilistic OR operator in logit-space. OR_(AIL)(x, y) := x + y, x > 0, y > 0 max(x, y), otherwise

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (1 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
