Here&amp;#x27;s how it works: • Embrace data-driven insights: AQuaSurF analyzes thousands of activation functions across diverse architectures and datasets, identifying what truly matters for performance. No more intuition-based guesswork! • Unleash the power of the AQuaSurF algorithm: This efficient algorithm leverages a unique surrogate performance measure to efficiently navigate the vast space of activation functions, uncovering hidden gems quickly. •…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2301.05785/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
