Abstract Deep learning (DL), derived from the domain of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), forms one of the most essential components of modern deep learning algorithms. DL segmentation models rely on layer-by-layer convolution-based feature representation, guided by forward and backward propagation. A critical aspect of this process is the selection of an appropriate activation function (AF) to ensure robust model learning. However, existing activation functions often fail to effectively address the vanishing gradient problem or are complicated by the need for manual parameter tuning. Most current research on activation function design focuses on classification tasks using natural… More >
