ReLU Function

The rectified linear unit (ReLU) function, a simple yet powerful activation function in neural networks, is a subject of ongoing research focused on understanding its properties and improving its application. Current research investigates ReLU's impact on network injectivity, its role in various algorithms (e.g., for blind image deblurring and stochastic bandits), and its optimization for efficient and secure inference, including methods to reduce the number of ReLU operations. These efforts aim to enhance the theoretical understanding of ReLU networks and improve their performance in diverse applications, from image processing to machine learning algorithms.
