Empirically assessing noisy necessary conditions with activation functions.

In this paper, we exploit the properties of mean absolute error (MAE) as a loss function for the deep neural network (DNN) based vector-to-vector regression. ... The goal of this work is two-fold: (i) presenting performance bounds of MAE, and (ii) demonstrating new properties of MAE that make it more appropriate than mean squared error (MSE) as a loss function ... We employ the fact that DNNs with the ReLU activation function are Lipschitz continuous [36] . ...
