Overview

  • Introduces HeLU (Hysteresis Linear Unit) - a new activation function for neural networks
  • Achieves better inference efficiency compared to ReLU
  • Shows improved performance on computer vision tasks
  • Reduces computational costs while maintaining accuracy
  • Demonstrates compatibility with existing neural network architectures

Plain English Explanation

Think of neural networks like a chain of mathematical operations that help computers understand patterns. At each step, they need to decide what information to pass forward - this is where activation functions come in. The new [Hysteresis Linear Unit (HeLU)](https://aimodels.fy...
