<h2 id="___sec62" class="anchor">Which activation function should we use? </h2>
<h2 id="___sec62" class="anchor">The RELU function family </h2>
<p>
In general it seems that the ELU activation function is better than
the leaky ReLU function (and its variants), which is better than
ReLU. ReLU performs better than \( \tanh \) which in turn performs better
than the logistic function.
The ReLU activation function suffers from a problem known as the dying
ReLUs: during training, some neurons effectively die, meaning they
stop outputting anything other than 0.
<p>
If runtime
performance is an issue, then you may opt for the leaky ReLU function over the
ELU function If you don&#8217;t
want to tweak yet another hyperparameter, you may just use the default
\( \alpha \) of \( 0.01 \) for the leaky ReLU, and \( 1 \) for ELU. If you have
spare time and computing power, you can use cross-validation or
bootstrap to evaluate other activation functions.
In some cases, you may find that half of your network&#8217;s neurons are
dead, especially if you used a large learning rate. During training,
if a neuron&#8217;s weights get updated such that the weighted sum of the
neuron&#8217;s inputs is negative, it will start outputting 0. When this
happen, the neuron is unlikely to come back to life since the gradient
of the ReLU function is 0 when its input is negative.
<p>
To solve this problem, nowadays practitioners use a variant of the ReLU
function, such as the leaky ReLU discussed above or the so-called
exponential linear unit (ELU) function
$$
ELU(z) = \left\{\begin{array}{cc} \alpha\left( \exp{(z)}-1\right) & z < 0,\\ z & z \ge 0.\end{array}\right.
