Neural network - More activation functions and the option of constructing custom functions

We need access to a much larger library of functions to choose from for the hidden layers of a neural network. It would also be great to be able to input custom functions and their derivatives.

Could you add "Relu (Rectified Linear Unit)" activation function as well ? Thanks : )

Selu and Relu would be great.  They are used in a lot of deep learning methods.  More layers please!

Can you add argmax  and softmax as well?  I second the relu request as well!

While not directly available in JMP Pro, the Torch Deep Learning Add-in for JMP Pro provides a wide range of activation functions.
