2.1.2Activation function Activation functionsare types of mathematical expressions used to find the output of aneural network. There are various types of activation functions, including ReLU, Leaky ReLU, Sigmoid, and so on. ReLU is one of the linear functions that gives a positive output for pos...

A novel morphing activation function is proposed, motivated by the wavelet theory and the use of wavelets as activation functions. Morphing refers to the gradual change of shape to mimic several apparently unrelated activation functions. The shape is con
Typically, a differentiable nonlinear activation function is used in the hidden layers of a neural network. This allows the model to learn more complex functions than a network trained using a linear activation function. In order to get access to a much richer hypothesis space that would benefit...
Adaptive activation functionClassificationDeep convolutional neural networks are one of the most successful types of neural networks widely used in image processing and pattern recognition. These networks involve many tunable parameters that influence network performance drastically. Among them, the proposed ...
An important feature of linear functions is that the composition of two linear functions is also a linear function. This means that, even in very deep neural networks, if we only had linear transformations of our data values during a forward pass, the learned mapping in our network from input...
It is the nonlinear activation function that allows such networks to compute nontrivial problems using only a small number of nodes. Nonlinear: When the activation function is non-linear, then a two-layer neural network can be proven to be a universal function approximator. The identity activati...
2.Perfect artificial neural network (ANN) learning should include the optimization of neural activation function types, and the tradition of optimizing the network weights only in ANN learning is not consistent with biology.以典型的前馈网络设计为例,对网络学习中神经元激活函数类型优化的重要性做了进一步...
