The paper introduces HAND, a biologically-inspired activation function that incorporates homeostasis, accelerating nonlinearity, and divisive normalization to act as an inductive bias in deep neural networks. Experiments on image classification show that using HAND allows a ConvNeXt-tiny model to reach ImageNet1k accuracy in 25 epochs versus 200 epochs for the baseline, and yields larger accuracy gains on long-tailed and reduced-data settings. The authors report that HAND does not degrade generalisation on common corruptions and can improve the model’s ability to reject unknown classes, with benefits observed across multiple CNN architectures and datasets.

Over the past decade, deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved remarkable success on complex machine-learning tasks, yet the theoretical foundations of their performance remain incomplete. From a statistical viewpoint, a natural question is: can DNNs attain feature-learning and prediction consistency comparable to that of classical models?

The study evaluates self‑supervised learning (SSL) models pretrained on ImageNet‑1k and the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) Field‑of‑View (FOV) for protein localization in microscopy images. DINO‑based Vision Transformer backbones pretrained on either dataset transfer well to the OpenCell dataset, achieving strong performance even without fine‑tuning and improving further when fine‑tuned (0.704 ± 0.027 macro F1 on 17 classes). At the single‑cell level, the HPA‑pretrained model outperforms others in k‑nearest‑neighbor classification across all neighborhood sizes (macro F1 ≥ 0.515).
