Abstract

Complex valued neural network (CVNN) has been developed to process complex valued data directly. In CVNN, one of the most important factors is selecting the node’s activation function. Choosing the right activation function for each layer is also crucial and may have a significant impact on metric scores and the training speed of the model. This paper introduces three new activation functions for CVNNs which is closely related to the activation function complex swish. These new activation functions are complex modified swish, complex E-swish and complex Flatten-T swish. In order to verify the validity and practicability of the proposed three new activation functions are tested and compared with complex swish activation function on complex valued four bit XOR problem, three inputs symmetry detection and the fading equalization problems. We show that complex E-swish ( β=1.4)  has the best overall performance when compared to other networks using complex swish, complex modified swish and complex Flatten-T swish activation functions on the considered tasks.
