Abstract

An empirical justification of a neuron-adaptive activation function for feed-forward neural networks has been proposed in this paper. Simulation results reveal that feed-forward neural networks with the proposed neuron-adaptive activation function present several advantages over traditional neuron-fixed feed-forward networks such as increased flexibility, much reduced network size, faster learning, and lessened approximation errors.
