A Kernel Activation Function is a non-parametric activation function defined as a one-dimensional kernel approximator: $$ f(s) = \sum_{i=1}^D \alpha_i \kappa( s, d_i) $$ where: 1. The dictionary of the kernel elements $d_0, \ldots, d_D$ is fixed by sampling the $x$-axis with a uniform step around 0. 2. The user selects the kernel function (e.g., Gaussian, ReLU, Softplus) and the number of kernel elements $D$ as a hyper-parameter. A larger dictionary leads to more expressive activation functions and a larger number of trainable parameters. 3. The linear coefficients are adapted independently at every neuron via standard back-propagation. In addition, the linear coefficients can be initialized using kernel ridge regression to behave similarly to a known function in the beginning of the optimization process.
