Evaluation of maxout activations in deep learning across several big data domains

Abstract This study investigates the effectiveness of multiple maxout activation function variants on 18 datasets using Convolutional Neural Networks. A network with maxout activation has a higher number of trainable parameters compared to networks with traditional activation functions. However, it...
