The SELU activation function is defined by

For more information, read the following paper:

@article{Klambauer2017,
  author  = {Gunter Klambauer and Thomas Unterthiner and
             Andreas Mayr},
  title   = {Self-Normalizing Neural Networks},
  journal = {Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems},
  year    = {2017},
  url = {https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.02515}
}

In the deterministic mode, there is no computation of the derivative.

Note

During training deterministic should be set to false and during testing/inference deterministic should be set to true.

Make sure to use SELU activation function with normalized inputs and weights initialized with Lecun Normal Initialization.

Template Parameters

InputDataType	Type of the input data (arma::colvec, arma::mat, arma::sp_mat or arma::cube).
OutputDataType	Type of the output data (arma::colvec, arma::mat, arma::sp_mat or arma::cube).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ELU() [1/2]

ELU

(

)

Create the ELU object.

NOTE: Use this constructor for SELU activation function.

ELU() [2/2]

ELU

(

const double

alpha

)

Create the ELU object using the specified parameter.

The non zero gradient for negative inputs can be adjusted by specifying the ELU hyperparameter alpha (alpha > 0).

Note

Use this constructor for ELU activation function.

Parameters

alpha

Scale parameter for the negative factor.
