Activation Function Conundrums in the Modern Machine Learning Paradigm

The decision-making components of main neural networks are activation functions. Furthermore, they evaluate the output of the network’s neural node; consequently, they are critical to the overall network’s performance. As a result, selecting the most appropriate activation function in neural network calculation is crucial. These functions have various features that are thought to be necessary for successful learning. These features include their methods to ensure individual derivatives and finite range. The generally used cumulative functions, such as Sigmoid, Leaky ReLU, softmax, TanH and ReLU, and so on, will be evaluated in this study article. This will be followed by their qualities, individual disadvantages and advantages, and specific formula application advice.
