> MLLib has a gap in the NN space.   There's some good reason for this, as batching gradient updates in traditional backprop training is known to not perform well.
> However, Extreme Learning Machines(ELM)  combine support for nonlinear activation functions in a hidden layer with a batch-friendly linear training.  There is also a body of ELM literature on various avenues for extension, including multi-category classification, multiple hidden layers and adaptive addition/deletion of hidden nodes.
