Fractional Optimizers Meet Fractal Activation Functions: An Empirical Study of Multi-Scale Optimization in Neural Network
Exploring the convergence of fractional derivatives and fractal activations for robust neural network optimization.
Fractional optimization methods and fractal activation functions are two independent directions for improving neural network training. Fractional optimizers extend first-order optimization through fractional derivatives and memory effects, whereas fractal activations introduce mu...
