ReLU

Short for Rectified Linear Unit(s). ReLUs are often used as activation functions in Deep Neural Networks. They are defined by f(x) = max(0, x). The advantages of ReLUs over functions like tanhinclude that they tend to be sparse (their activation easily be set to 0), and that they suffer less from the vanishing gradient problem. ReLUs are the most commonly used activation function in Convolutional Neural Networks. There exist several variations of ReLUs, such as Leaky ReLUs, Parametric ReLU (PReLU) or a smoother softplusapproximation.
