Orthogonal Activation Functions in Neural Networks: Utilizing Chebyshev, Legendre, and Hermite Polynomials
摘要
In this study, we explore the potential of orthogonal polynomial functions as activation functions within the SWAG neural network architecture. By employing Chebyshev, Legendre, Hermite polynomials and and sinusoidal functions, we conduct a rigorous comparative analysis to evaluate the performance enhancements across a range of benchmark datasets. Furthermore, this paper investigates the influence of factorial coefficients on the performance of these models, providing a nuanced understanding of how these mathematical modifications affect learning dynamics and model efficacy. Our results offer insights into optimizing neural network architectures through advanced mathematical functions.
