Researchers have introduced TESLA, a novel activation function designed to improve neural network performance on tasks involving binary vectors and parity problems. TESLA utilizes a learnable combination of sine and cosine terms to control polynomial degrees and amplify high-order components, theoretically shaping training dynamics for better structure emphasis. Empirically, TESLA demonstrates strong generalization on parity problems with limited data and robustness against label noise, while also showing comparable performance on the ImageNet-100 dataset.
