Researchers have developed a new activation function called squared sigmoid-tanh (SST) designed to improve the performance of Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs) in sequence learning tasks, particularly when training data is limited. This parameter-free modification enhances the contrast between gate activations, leading to sharper information filtering and more stable learning. Evaluations across sign language recognition, human activity recognition, and time-series forecasting demonstrated that SST-GRUs consistently outperform standard GRUs, especially in data-scarce environments, with minimal added computational cost.
