you should use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nonlinearity='linear'</span></code> instead of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nonlinearity='selu'</span></code>.
This gives the initial weights a variance of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">1</span> <span class="pre">/</span> <span class="pre">N</span></code>,
which is necessary to induce a stable fixed point in the forward pass.
In contrast, the default gain for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SELU</span></code> sacrifices the normalisation
effect for more stable gradient flow in rectangular layers.</p>
