+ ### Detailed Analysis
436
+
437
+ #### 1. Linear (No Activation)
438
+ - **Final MSE**: {final_losses['linear']:.6f}
439
+ - **Observation**: Without any non-linear activation, the network is equivalent to a single linear transformation regardless of depth. It cannot approximate the non-linear sine function, resulting in the worst performance.
440
+ - **Gradient Flow**: Gradients propagate uniformly but the model lacks expressiveness.
441
+
442
+ #### 2. Sigmoid
443
+ - **Final MSE**: {final_losses['sigmoid']:.6f}
444
+ - **Observation**: Sigmoid activation suffers from the **vanishing gradient problem**. With 10 layers, gradients diminish exponentially as they propagate backward, making training extremely slow and often ineffective.
445
+ - **Gradient Flow**: Gradients at early layers (closer to input) are orders of magnitude smaller than at later layers.
446
+
447
+ #### 3. ReLU
448
+ - **Final MSE**: {final_losses['relu']:.6f}
449
+ - **Observation**: ReLU provides better gradient flow than sigmoid due to its constant gradient (1) for positive inputs. However, it can suffer from "dying ReLU" where neurons become permanently inactive.
450
+ - **Gradient Flow**: More stable gradient propagation compared to sigmoid.
451
+
452
+ #### 4. Leaky ReLU
453
+ - **Final MSE**: {final_losses['leaky_relu']:.6f}
454
+ - **Observation**: Leaky ReLU addresses the dying ReLU problem by allowing small gradients for negative inputs. This typically results in better training dynamics.
455
+ - **Gradient Flow**: Consistent gradient flow even for negative activations.
456
+
457
+ #### 5. GELU
458
+ - **Final MSE**: {final_losses['gelu']:.6f}
459
+ - **Observation**: GELU (Gaussian Error Linear Unit) provides smooth, non-monotonic activation that has become popular in transformer architectures. It often provides excellent performance on various tasks.
460
+ - **Gradient Flow**: Smooth gradient transitions help with optimization.

+ ### Key Observations
499
+
500
+ 1. **Sigmoid shows severe gradient decay**: The ratio of gradients (Layer 10 / Layer 1) for Sigmoid is approximately {sigmoid_ratio:.2e}, demonstrating exponential decay through the network.
501
+
502
+ 2. **ReLU maintains better gradient flow**: The gradient ratio for ReLU is approximately {relu_ratio:.2e}, showing much more stable propagation.
503
+
504
+ 3. **Linear activation has uniform gradients**: Since there's no non-linearity, gradients propagate uniformly, but the model cannot learn non-linear functions.
505
+
506
+ 4. **GELU and Leaky ReLU provide good balance**: Both maintain reasonable gradient flow while providing non-linear expressiveness.

511
+
512
+ ### 1. Learned Functions (`learned_functions.png`)
513
+ Shows how well each model approximates the sine function. Models with vanishing gradients (Sigmoid) fail to learn the function properly.
514
+
515
+ ### 2. Loss Curves (`loss_curves.png`)
516
+ Training loss over 500 epochs. Note how Sigmoid converges very slowly (or not at all) compared to ReLU-based activations.
517
+
518
+ ### 3. Gradient Flow (`gradient_flow.png`)
519
+ Bar chart showing average gradient magnitude per layer at early training. Clearly demonstrates the vanishing gradient problem in Sigmoid.
520
+
521
+ ### 4. Hidden Activations (`hidden_activations.png`)
522
+ Distribution of activation values at layers 1, 5, and 10 after training. Shows how activations saturate in Sigmoid networks.

525
+
526
+ ## Conclusions
527
+
528
+ 1. **Best Performance**: The ReLU family (ReLU, Leaky ReLU) and GELU typically achieve the best results on this task, with final MSE losses around 0.01 or lower.
529
+
530
+ 2. **Vanishing Gradient Problem**: Sigmoid activation clearly demonstrates the vanishing gradient problem. With 10 hidden layers, gradients become negligibly small at early layers, preventing effective learning.
531
+
532
+ 3. **Linear Activation Limitations**: Without non-linear activations, even a deep network cannot approximate non-linear functions, resulting in poor performance.
533
+
534
+ 4. **Modern Activations**: GELU and Leaky ReLU provide robust alternatives that maintain good gradient flow while offering non-linear expressiveness.
535
+
536
+ 5. **Practical Recommendation**: For deep networks, use ReLU, Leaky ReLU, or GELU. Avoid Sigmoid in deep architectures unless specifically needed (e.g., output layer for binary classification).
