      Yes, it is inherently incorrect, I just think that increases the fun factor. It reminds me of that guy who wrote a prime-checker for his thesis and it was just a massive list of if-statement

        Good old ReLU. I’ve heard that CNN’s perform better when using ReLU as the activation func, and that’s probably why; ReLU acts as a filter on the image’s features.

          Nah. Without a nonlinearity you just get a linear combination of inputs instead of the output of a deep neural network. ReLU or Ramp is just the simplest possible non linearity. Using a simple function can enable using deeper networks yielding even better performance.

          It’s actually somewhat of a headache, numerically. Works well enough tho.
