q-Neurons: Neuron Activations based on Stochastic Jackson's Derivative Operators
Frank Nielsen, Ke Sun
We propose a new generic type of stochastic neurons, called q-neurons, that considers activation functions based on Jackson's q-derivatives with stochastic parameters q. Our generalization of neural network architectures with q-neurons is shown to be both scalable and very easy to implement. We demonstrate experimentally consistently improved performances over state-of-the-art standard activation functions, both on training and testing loss functions.
