""" Implements the Scaled Exponential Linear Unit or SELU function. The function takes a vector of K real numbers and two real numbers alpha(default = 1.6732) & lambda (default = 1.0507) as input and then applies the SELU function to each element of the vector. SELU is a self-normalizing activation function. It is a variant of the ELU. The main advantage of SELU is that we can be sure that the output will always be standardized due to its self-normalizing behavior. That means there is no need to include Batch-Normalization layers.
