The design of activation functions is a growing research area in the field of neural networks. In particular, instead of using fixed point-wise functions (e.g., the rectified linear unit), several authors have proposed ways of learning…

Activation functions and attention mechanisms are typically treated as having different purposes and have evolved differently. However, both concepts can be formulated as a non-linear gating function. Inspired by their similarity, we…

Activation functions (AFs) are an important part of the design of neural networks (NNs), and their choice plays a predominant role in the performance of a NN. In this work, we are particularly interested in the estimation of flexible…

The most widely used activation functions in current deep feed-forward neural networks are rectified linear units (ReLU), and many alternatives have been successfully applied, as well. However, none of the alternatives have managed to…

Activation functions (AF) are necessary components of neural networks that allow approximation of functions, but AFs in current use are usually simple monotonically increasing functions. In this paper, we propose trainable compound AF (TCA)…

Classical results in neural network approximation theory show how arbitrary continuous functions can be approximated by networks with a single hidden layer, under mild assumptions on the activation function. However, the classical theory…

The design of a neural network is usually carried out by defining the number of layers, the number of neurons per layer, their connections or synapses, and the activation function that they will execute. The training process tries to…

The paper proposes representation functionals in a dual paradigm where learning jointly concerns both linear convolutional weights and parametric forms of nonlinear activation functions. The nonlinear forms proposed for performing the…

Despite broad interest in applying deep learning techniques to scientific discovery, learning interpretable formulas that accurately describe scientific data is very challenging because of the vast landscape of possible functions and the…

Functional brain graphs are often characterized with separate graph-theoretic or spectral descriptors, overlooking how these properties covary and partially overlap across brains and conditions. We anticipate that dense, weighted functional…

In the past, research on a single low dimensional activation function in networks has led to internal covariate shift and gradient deviation problems. A relatively small research area is how to use function combinations to provide property…

An activation function has crucial role in a deep neural network. A simple rectified linear unit (ReLU) are widely used for the activation function. In this paper, a weighted sigmoid gate unit (WiG) is proposed as the activation function.…
