<p>Hi</p>

<p>I'm willing to take this task. I'm new to the community and I'm trying for GSOC 16 and thus I believe implementing this issue can be a good starting point. </p>

<p>The way I see it now, it involves creating a new rectifier function class at ann/activation_functions and then adding that to base_layer.hpp module ( and corresponding  test cases at test/activation_functions_test.cpp )</p>
