• Abstract: In the current research of neural networks, the activation function is manually specified by human and not able to change themselves during training. This paper focus on how to make the activation function trainable for deep neural networks. We use series and linear combination of different activation functions make activation functions continuously variable. Also, we test the performance of CNNs with Fourier series simulated activation(Fourier-CNN) and CNNs with linear combined activation function (LC-CNN) on Cifar-10 dataset. The result shows our trainable activation function reveals better performance than the most used ReLU activation function. Finally, we improves the performance of Fourier-CNN with Autoencoder, and test the performance of PSO algorithm in optimizing the parameters of networks

  We introduce DiTAC, a trainable highly-expressive activation function. DiTAC enhances model expressiveness and performance, often yielding substantial improvements. It also outperforms existing activation functions (regardless of whether the latter are fixed or trainable) in tasks such as semantic segmentation, image generation, regression problems, and image classification.

We propose an elegant curriculum based scheme that smoothes the feature embedding of a CNN using anti-aliasing or low-pass filters. As the amount of information in the feature maps increases during training, the network is able to progressively learn better representations of the data.
