The nonlinear activation functions in the deep CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) based on fluid dynamics are presented. We propose two types of activation functions by applying the so-called parametric softsign to the negative region. We use significantly the well-known TensorFlow as the deep learning framework. The CNN architecture consists of three convolutional layers with the max-pooling and one fullyconnected softmax layer. The CNN approaches are applied to three benchmark datasets, namely, MNIST, CIFAR-10, and CIFAR-100. Numerical results demonstrate the workability and the validity of the present approach through comparison with other numerical performances.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
