SELU Variation Activation Function

The SELU Variation is designed to enhance the self-normalizing properties of the standard SELU function by introducing a non-monotonic behavior for negative inputs through a sinusoidal component.

Mathematical Formula

The SELU Variation activation function is defined as:

$$f(x) = \lambda \cdot \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} x & \text{if } x > 0\\ \alpha \cdot (e^{\beta \cdot x} - 1) + \gamma \cdot \sin(\omega \cdot x) & \text{if } x \leq 0 \end{array} \right.$$

Where:

• ( $\lambda $) is a scaling parameter to ensure self-normalization.
• ( $\alpha $) and ( $\beta$ ) adjust the exponential growth for negative inputs.
• ( $\gamma $) and ( $\omega$ ) control the amplitude and frequency of the sinusoidal component.

Code

    Parameters:
    - x: Input data.
    - alpha: Scaling parameter for exponential growth for negative inputs.
    - lambda_: Scaling parameter to ensure self-normalization.
    - beta: Adjustment for the exponential component.
    - gamma: Amplitude of the sinusoidal component.
    - omega: Frequency of the sinusoidal component.
    
    Returns:
