Summary
The appropriate choice of the activation functions for neural networks is a key factor in the deep learning framework. There is a problem that so-called dying unit issue becase the slope of the negative region is always 0. New activation functions have been proposed such as PReLU [2] and ELU [3]. The PReLU mitigates this problem by applying a parametric slope to the negative region. The ELU is more robust against noise than ReLU and PReLU by nonlinearly extending the negative region. We present two types of activation functions by applying the so-called parametric softsign to the negative part of ReLU. We apply the activation function to CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) which performs image recognition and approaches from multiple benchmark datasets such as MNIST, CIFAR-10. Numerical results demonstrate the workability and the validity of the present approach through comparison with other numerical performances
