/// SELU (Scaled Exponential Linear Unit) activation layer
///
/// Applies `f(x) = scale * x` for `x > 0`, and `f(x) = scale * alpha * (e^x - 1)` at 0 and
/// below, keeping the original shape. The values `alpha = 1.6732632` and `scale = 1.0507010`
/// are fixed. Common inputs include 2D tensors for dense layers and 4D tensors for
/// convolutional layers
///
/// Klambauer et al. (2017) picked the 2 constants so that the activations keep a mean of 0
/// and a variance of 1 across layers. That self-normalizing property needs Lecun-normal
/// initialization and a wide enough layer
///
/// [`Activation::SELU`] provides the activation math. This layer only adds boundary
/// validation and the caching needed for backpropagation
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```rust
/// use rustyml::neural_network::sequential::Sequential;
/// use rustyml::neural_network::layers::activation::selu::SELU;
/// use rustyml::neural_network::optimizers::*;
/// use rustyml::neural_network::losses::MeanSquaredError;
/// use ndarray::Array2;
///
/// // Create a 2D input tensor
/// let x = Array2::from_shape_vec((2, 3), vec![-1.0, 2.0, -3.0, 4.0, -5.0, 6.0])
///     .unwrap()
///     .into_dyn();
///
/// // Build a model with SELU activation
/// let mut model = Sequential::new();
/// model
///     .add(SELU::new())
///     .compile(SGD::new(0.01, 0.0, false, 0.0).unwrap(), MeanSquaredError::new());
///
/// // Forward propagation
/// let output = model.predict(&x);
///
/// // Output will be: [[-1.1113307, 2.101402, -1.6705688], [4.2028041, -1.7462534, 6.3042059]]
