+    Inverse Square Root Linear activation f(α, x):
+        x >= 0: x
+        x < 0:  x / sqrt(1 + α * x^2)
+    # Input shape
+        Arbitrary. Use the keyword argument `input_shape`
+        (tuple of integers, does not include the samples axis)
+        when using this layer as the first layer in a model.
+    # Output shape
+        Same shape as the input.
+    # Arguments
+        alpha: Value of the alpha weights (float)
+         NOTE : This function can become unstable for
+                negative values of α (it may return
+                NaNs). In particular, this happens when
+                α < 0 and x < -1/sqrt(α).
+                If this happens, try limiting the magnitude
+                of α below a certain threshold, such that
+                1 + α * x^2 is always positive.
+                Alternatively, you can normalize the inputs
+                into fixed ranges before passing them to ISRLU.
+                Adjust the value of α based on your specific
+                dataset and use-case.
