New research explores activation functions in Restricted Boltzmann Machines

Researchers have explored the statistical properties of weights and hidden unit nonlinearities in Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs). The study focused on four activation functions: Linear, Step, ReLU, and Exponential, to understand their impact on the distribution induced on binary visible units. Findings suggest that RBMs with Gaussian weights generally struggle to learn distributions with strong higher-order interactions, with the exception of models employing an Exponential activation function.

IMPACT This research provides theoretical insights into the learning capabilities of RBMs with different activation functions, potentially informing future model architectures.
