In the sparse autoencoder implementation, we had 3 layers of neurons: the input layer, a hidden layer and an output layer.  In that network, every neuron used the same activation function.

In these nodes, we describe a modified version of the autoencoder which uses a simpler activation function at the output layer, but which is sometimes simpler to apply.

of autoencoders (and of neural networks), every neuron used the same activation function.
 +
In these notes, we describe a modified version of the autoencoder in which some of the neurons use a different activation function.
 +
This will result in a model that is sometimes simpler to apply.  
Recall that each neuron (in the output layer) computes the following:
Recall that each neuron (in the output layer) computes the following:
