+This script demonstrates the implementation of the Sigmoid Linear Unit (SiLU)
+or swish function.
+* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier_(neural_networks)
+* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swish_function
+
+The function takes a vector x of K real numbers as input and returns x * sigmoid(x).
+Swish is a smooth, non-monotonic function defined as f(x) = x * sigmoid(x).
+Extensive experiments shows that Swish consistently matches or outperforms ReLU
+on deep networks applied to a variety of challenging domains such as
+image classification and machine translation.
+
+This script is inspired by a corresponding research paper.
