# softShrink

Creates an instance of a soft shrink activation layer.

## Declaration

```swift
class var softShrink: MLCActivationLayer { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This factory creates an activation descriptor using init(type:a:), where type = MLCActivationType.softShrink and a = 0.5, and passes that descriptor to init(descriptor:).
